$BTC What waves will the new (anti-money laundering law) in 2025 bring to the virtual currency market?
With the implementation of the new (anti-money laundering law), the regulation of virtual currency trading will become stricter. This means that those attempting to launder money through digital currency will have nowhere to hide. The Supreme Procuratorate has clearly stated that anti-money laundering is not only about fulfilling international obligations but also an important task for maintaining national security and the rule of law. All institutions must work together to ensure the effective implementation of the law.
The implementation of the new law not only expands the definition of money laundering crimes but also brings virtual currency trading under regulatory oversight. This undoubtedly sounds an alarm for those trying to use digital currency for illegal activities. Recently, a labor dispute case vividly illustrated this point. Engineer Zhou attempted to settle wages with USDT, but the court rejected it, citing insufficient evidence and non-compliance with current legal provisions. This ruling undoubtedly serves as a warning for those trying to use cryptocurrency in wage payments.
At the same time, after the implementation of the new law, virtual currency trading platforms will face stricter anti-money laundering scrutiny. User identity verification and tracking of fund flows will become the focus of regulation. Individuals and businesses must be more cautious when participating in digital currency transactions to avoid falling into legal risks due to momentary negligence. This is not only a protection of individual property but also a maintenance of the entire financial market order.
In the face of the new law's implementation, investors must raise their compliance awareness and ensure the legality of the sources and uses of funds. However, we should not overlook the opportunities presented by hot projects during a bull market. We need to find a balance between risk and return, adhering to the law while seizing opportunities.
