Ensuring Compliance for Crypto Transactions
What Is the Travel Rule?
The Travel Rule, introduced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), mandates that cryptocurrency transactions must include detailed information about the sender and receiver. This ensures transparency and prevents illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
The FATF allows countries a de minimis threshold of USD/EUR 1,000. Switzerland applies the rule without a threshold: FINMA treats crypto transfers like payment orders under Art. 10 AMLO-FINMA (FINMA Guidance 02/2019). SRO members apply the same rule under the regulations of their SRO.
