In today's rapidly evolving crypto landscape, one of the paramount concerns for both regulators and investors alike is the compliance of cryptocurrency businesses with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) regulations. As the industry continues to grow, ensuring these entities abide by strict financial standards becomes increasingly crucial. Could you elaborate on the current practices and challenges faced by crypto businesses in adhering to AML/CFT regulations? Are there any recent cases or trends that highlight areas of compliance or non-compliance? And what steps should regulators and the industry itself take to further strengthen these regulatory frameworks?
