    In Norway, the use of cryptocurrencies is regulated by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet). They have implemented a set of guidelines to ensure the proper use and trading of cryptocurrencies. The government requires cryptocurrency exchanges to register with Finanstilsynet and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. This helps prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
