From now on, virtual asset service providers (VASPs) must register before they start operating. However, existing companies have a grace period. In particular, they have until September 24 to submit the necessary documentation and regularize their situation.

Service providers must report suspicious transactions to the FSC, verify the identities of their users and undergo AML compliance checks. Companies that fail to comply with these requirements face fines.
