  In 2018, global regulators expressed several concerns about the use of crypto assets. One of the main concerns was the potential for money laundering and illicit activities facilitated by cryptocurrencies. Regulators were worried that the pseudonymous nature of crypto transactions could be exploited by criminals. To address this concern, many countries implemented stricter Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations for cryptocurrency exchanges. These regulations require exchanges to verify the identities of their users and report suspicious activities to the authorities.

  Global regulators were also concerned about the lack of consumer protection in the crypto market. Unlike traditional financial systems, cryptocurrencies are not backed by any government or central authority. This means that if a user loses their crypto assets due to theft or fraud, there is no recourse to recover the funds. To address this concern, regulators have been working on implementing regulations to protect consumers, such as requiring exchanges to have insurance or establishing compensation funds.
