FATF Recommendation

In June 2014, the FATF issued Virtual Currencies: Key Definitions and Potential AML/CFT Risks

in response to the emergence of virtual currencies and their associated payment mechanisms

for providing new methods of transmitting value over the Internet. In June 2015, the FATF

issued the Guidance for a Risk-Based Approach to Virtual Currencies (the 2015 VC Guidance) as

part of a staged approach to addressing the money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF)

risks associated with virtual currency payment products and services.

Wallet も含まれるというのが一般的な解釈か？

Depending on their particular financial activities, VASPs include VA exchanges and transfer

services; some VA wallet providers, such as those that host wallets or maintain custody or

control over another natural or legal person’s VAs, wallet(s), and/or private key(s); providers

of financial services relating to the issuance, offer, or sale of a VA (such as in an ICO); and other

possible business models.
