Crypto Laundering a ‘Material Risk’ for UK Ahead of FATF Review: RUSI
The Royal United Services Institute warns that crypto money laundering poses a material risk to the UK ahead of a FATF review, with assessors visiting in June 2027, months before full crypto rules take effect. The timing leaves the UK needing to prove it can enforce against crypto laundering before its regime is fully in force. Traders should watch for tighter UK enforcement and compliance pressure on exchanges and crypto businesses.
