  Cyprus has implemented a comprehensive regulatory framework to combat money laundering in the cryptocurrency sector. This includes the establishment of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) as the regulatory authority for cryptocurrencies. CySEC ensures that cryptocurrency exchanges and other related businesses comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Additionally, Cyprus has also introduced legislation that requires cryptocurrency businesses to register with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and implement robust AML procedures. These measures aim to enhance transparency and prevent illicit activities in the cryptocurrency sector.
