The Wolfsberg Group has published FAQs on defining digital assets. The FAQs propose definitions to be used by financial institutions, policymakers, supervisors and regulators to understand the characteristics of digital assets, money laundering, terrorist financing and operational risks they generate, as well as serve as an input to financial institutions developing policies and appropriate controls. The Wolfsberg Group intends to supplement these FAQs in future with guidance on the risks and associated controls for digital assets in line with the concepts developed in the FAQs.
The Wolfsberg Group has also published guidance on payment transparency roles and responsibilities to supplement the Wolfsberg Group Payment Transparency Standards.
