Where to start
What is risk management in banking? A bank measures the risks it takes, holds capital and liquid assets against them, and reports both to its supervisor. Crypto compliance applies the same steps to crypto-assets. Crypto regulation in Europe rests on MiCA and the Travel Rule; crypto regulation in Germany adds the national law that names BaFin as supervisor.
