A single licence can unlock significant market access that would otherwise require multiple national authorisations.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"matter-card\">\r\n <div class=\"matter-card-label\">Operational continuity<\/div>\r\n <h4>Compliance protects the business<\/h4>\r\n <p>A properly licensed and compliant crypto business is more resilient \u2014 better positioned for banking, less exposed to regulatory intervention, and more sustainable in the long term.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"matter-card\">\r\n <div class=\"matter-card-label\">AML\/CFT obligations<\/div>\r\n <h4>Licensing and AML\/CFT are inseparable<\/h4>\r\n <p>Every VASP and CASP licence requires a functional AML\/CFT programme.
