- Having policies and procedures in place to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing

It’s worth noting that the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges is a rapidly evolving area, and the requirements for obtaining and maintaining a license may change over time. It’s important for exchanges to stay up to date on the latest developments in this area.
