The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international group that combats money laundering and terrorism financing, will start developing binding rules for crypto exchanges in June, a Japanese official familiar with the matter told Reuters June 12.
The new rules would be an upgrade to the non-binding resolutions which were adopted by the FATF in June 2015.
The FAFT will consider whether existing guidelines on anti-money laundering (AML) measures and reporting suspicious trading activity are still appropriate, and if they can be applied to new exchanges.
The official stated that Japanese authorities aspire to become a leader in the matter and to promote the adoption of new binding rules by 2019.
The recent move by the FATF follows the recent release of a draft on new regulations for crypto exchanges and payment services by the Canadian government.
