Abstract generation in progress
Golden Finance reports that on May 27, according to CriptoNoticias, the Costa Rican legislature passed a bill on May 25, imposing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations on virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Virtual asset service providers must register with the General Supervision Authority of Financial Entities, fulfilling obligations such as customer identity verification, beneficial owner due diligence, transaction record keeping, and suspicious transaction reporting. Those who are unregistered or fail to perform due diligence may be fined approximately $1,800 to $90k, with specific violations potentially resulting in fines of 5% to 50% of the transaction amount. The law will take effect three months after publication, and related implementation rules must be formulated within three months.
