I dont think regulations really is a AML issue, I think it is more to control a new monetary market from a government perspective, which is understandable of course, no matter ones opinion
I agree, though money laundering might be one of the many reasons, but It wasnt the primary one.
Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is a threat to the current banking system, and It is ironic to think that the banks has more laundered money than the whole cryptocurrency market cap.
I dont believe that banks has laundered a money . how come they can laundered if they are already regulated ? Cryptos are the ones that are prone to money laundering , that is why kyc is invented to protect us . bitcoin regulation really is beneficial to the user and to the owner of the exchange/wallet . kyc or regulation also have other useful feature such as filtering the abusers .
Banks not laundered money? What world do you live in?
