The FATF on Tuesday released its assessment of the United States' compliance with its banking rules and laws and regulations pertaining to digital assets and other areas. FATF believes that the United States basically meets the revised standards of "Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Through Digital Assets" (AML/CTF). At the same time, there are still "small shortcomings" in the United States. U.S. regulators are also lagging behind in their investigations into convertible virtual currency (CVC) operations, the FATF said. Their strategy “does not clearly identify high-risk virtual asset service providers” (VASPs), which leaves them with insufficient scrutiny of various types of high-volume exchanges and peer-to-peer networks. Gaps in legislation may also allow very specific VASP activities to evade inspection and enforcement.
