Introducing TRM’s Regulatory Action Tracker: Stay Updated on Global Enforcement Trends

Regulatory clarity may be the holy grail of crypto policy, but clarity doesn’t always mean leniency. Even in markets advancing crypto-friendly frameworks — such as the EU’s MiCA regime or evolving guidance in regions like Hong Kong and the UAE — examiners remain laser-focused on how AML programs are implemented and whether they stand up to scrutiny.

In short: enforcement isn’t slowing down. It’s getting more sophisticated.

Each enforcement action represents a signal — about risk priorities, regulatory expectations, and the real-world consequences of gaps in compliance programs. Whether it’s a high-profile penalty against a global exchange, or a less-publicized settlement with a smaller player, every case is a chance to learn.

For compliance officers, these actions are more than headlines — they’re roadmaps. 

TRM’s Regulatory Action Tracker: From reaction to readiness

Staying updated on the latest regulatory changes impacting cryptocurrency compliance involves monitoring developments in key jurisdictions and understanding new laws and guidelines. That’s why we recently launched our Regulatory Action Tracker to help compliance teams understand the global regulatory actions affecting their organizations, and shift their compliance program motions from reactive to proactive.

The tracker consolidates and categorizes enforcement actions tied to the crypto ecosystem, spanning everything from registration violations and sanctions breaches to AML failures. With the tracker, you can:

• Spot patterns in regulatory focus — across geographies, time periods, and risk themes
• Identify program gaps — by benchmarking against the types of violations regulators are prioritizing
• Prepare for exams — with real-world examples that clarify what “effective compliance” actually means
• Inform training and reporting — by integrating enforcement trends into risk assessments and team education

This isn’t just about keeping tabs on enforcement — it’s about leveraging those signals to build stronger, examiner-ready programs.

At TRM, we believe robust compliance doesn’t just reduce risk — it builds trust. The Regulatory Action Tracker is designed to surface those insights, empower compliance professionals, and support the evolution of stronger, more resilient financial infrastructure.
