Under the umbrella of the ACPR-AMF Fintech Forum, a working group was set up with market players and the public authorities concerned to study the application of the rules to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AML-CFT) to the crypto-asset sector.
The objective of this group was twofold: on the one hand, to raise awareness in a recently regulated sector (PACTE law of 2019, extension of the FATF Recommendations to crypto-assets in 2018 and 2019), on the other hand, to make an initial report on current AML-CFT practices of the players as well as the specificities and perspectives opened up in this matter by the exploitation of blockchain technologies.
This report reflects the work of this group.
