  Merchants who transact with cryptocurrencies are typically required to use their legal name in order to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. By using their legal name, merchants can help ensure transparency and accountability in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

  When it comes to using their legal name in cryptocurrency transactions, merchants must adhere to the regulations set forth by the jurisdiction in which they operate. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal consequences and reputational damage. It is important for merchants to stay informed about the legal requirements and seek legal advice if needed to ensure compliance.
