Do individual traders need AML checks?
Strictly speaking, individual traders are not regulated entities under most AML frameworks. However, running pre-trade AML checks protects you from: account freezes when you receive funds from tainted wallets, seizure of assets by exchanges following suspicious transaction detection, and legal complications if a counterparty is later identified as a sanctions violator.
