Anti-Money Laundering
Definition
AML stands for Anti-Money Laundering. In crypto, it means the rules and steps that platforms use to stop money laundering. These rules follow the law.
These rules often ask users to prove who they are. They also track suspicious activity. Crypto can be used for crime because it is anonymous and crosses borders. So exchanges, wallets and other crypto services must follow AML rules. AML can include checking ID, watching for odd transactions, reporting to authorities, and checking customer backgrounds. Crypto firms also work with governments to meet these standards. This helps keep the market honest and safe for users.
