At the end of March the United Kingdom’s financial watchdog – the FCA – has açıkladı Birleşik Krallık'taki kripto parayla ilgili şirketlerin artık mali suçlarla ilgili bilgileri yıllık raporlar şeklinde sunmak zorunda olduğu açıklandı.

Some may think that this kind of reporting could be considered a step back from the freedoms that the crypto industry promised at the beginning of its inception. However, in actuality, this decision is likely to lead to many good things for the industry in the long term.

One of the major reasons why cryptocurrencies have been slow on the pickup by mainstream companies and companies outside of the crypto industry until now is the lack of trust and the fear of crypto funds being associated with criminals and scams. It is no secret that the crypto industry has been the victim of many hacks, thefts and other cybercrimes in the past several years.

All the more reason why this recent decision by the FCA is so important. Gaining a better understanding of how criminals operate and use crypto assets will ensure companies in this sector provide the best possible security for their clients. They will be able to keep the funds entrusted to them safe while at the same time fostering greater trust with the general public.

And on the regulator’s side, this measure will help gain a clearer picture of the market and its vulnerabilities, opening avenues for the development of regulations meant to target these weaker spots specifically.

Tüm bunlar, kripto endüstrisinin ilerici gelişimi ve daha büyük finansal hizmetler ekosistemine dahil edilmesi için gereklidir.

With the growing presence of major non-crypto players like Visa and PayPal, it doesn’t come as a surprise that security is becoming a much more important matter now.

We have been observing a trend where more and more crypto companies are hastening the implementation of KYC/AML measures. At the same time, clients also begin to show more patience for such matters and willingness to undergo proper KYC procedures. Our own internal data showed a 65% increase in willingness to pass verification processes, compared to how things were before the recent bull market.

Bütün bunlar, hem kripto işletmelerinin hem de kullanıcıların artık KYC konularına karşı daha ciddi bir tutum sergilediğini gösteriyor.

KYC konusu kripto topluluğu arasında her zaman biraz tartışmalı olmuştur. Uzun zamandan beri geleneksel finansta norm haline gelmiş olsa da, kriptoya gelen insanlar genellikle bunun gibi geciktirici faktörlere karşı çıkıyorlar. KYC sadece istedikleri hizmetlere erişimi yavaşlatmakla kalmıyor, aynı zamanda bazı müşteriler de kişisel bilgilerini iletme konusunda tereddüt edebiliyor.

Crypto exchanges then get caught in an unfortunate position – they are forced to choose between forgoing KYC measures for the sake of swift operations and fulfill their obligations of protecting their client’s money with all due responsibility.

What also needs mentioning is that adhering to proper regulatory compliance measures requires a company to invest a significant amount of time and effort. And in the end, all platforms decide for themselves what levels of security they wish to maintain and how much it agrees with their business policies.

İşimizi geliştirirken en başından beri düzenli bir yol izlemeyi seçtik çünkü sektörün eninde sonunda bu yöne kayacağına inanıyorduk.

The implementation of proper KYC/AML measures could demonstrate that the platform takes its clients seriously and helps build trust with the community. If you’re looking at the market from the long-term perspective, then efforts in this direction will certainly pay off.

And it seems that the market has finally come to realize this if the recent improvement in regulatory climate is anything to go by. The kripto Sektör, başlangıçta olduğundan çok daha güvenilir ve olgunlaştı; giderek daha fazla şirket, müşterileri nezdinde güvenilirlik sağlamak için düzenleme yoluna gitmeyi seçiyor.
