An in-depth guide on crypto-asset regulation in Germany

Scorechain is happy to announce the publication of its latest regulatory guide. Our guide on crypto-asset regulation in Germany aims to help obliged entities to grasp every aspect of crypto AML requirements in Germany.

Why are there more and more crypto-asset regulations?

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, crypto-asset investments significantly increased worldwide. However, and despite the fact that they are disrupting traditional financial services, crypto assets also brought new kinds of financial risks. For example, financial risks include money laundering (ML), terrorism financing (TF), or fraud. To prevent this, worldwide governments and bodies have started to regulate crypto asset activities with anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

To help companies understand these AML requirements, Scorechain just released its latest regulatory guide on cryptocurrencies. This guide has been co-written with our partner PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschadfsprüfungsgesellschaft (PwC).
