 <p class="is-style-lead">The FSRA announced an update to AML rules, aligning with the crypto travel rule, a regulatory requirement that mandates cryptocurrency service providers to share transaction information.</p>
 <p>According to a&nbsp;Dec. 21 announcement, the FSRA has recently implemented revisions to enhance clarity regarding requirements outlined in the AML Rulebook. These changes align with the UAE’s federal regulatory framework, reinforcing measures against money laundering, terrorism financing, and proliferation financing while ensuring <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="compliance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/compliance.html">compliance</a> with targeted financial <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sanctions" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sanctions.html">sanctions</a>.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>As per the comprehensive record of amendments, the recent revisions clearly designate digital assets as a recognized payment method, specifying that the payment for any part or all of the sale or purchase amount includes payments using virtual assets as outlined in the document.</p>

 <p>These revisions have broad relevance, affecting all entities subject to the provisions outlined in the AML Rulebook. This includes authorized firms within the financial services sector and designated non-financial businesses and professions.</p>
 <p>As reported by Forbes a month earlier, the region, spearheaded by individual Emirates, notably Abu Dhabi and Dubai, has intensified regulatory initiatives over the last two years.</p>
