瑞士金融市场监管局(FINMA)在其最新的风险监测报告中将数字资产列为洗钱高风险领域。

FINMA publishes the risk monitor annually. It provides an overview of what FINMA believes are the most important risks currently facing supervised institutions and describes the focus of supervisory activity. This creates transparency both for supervised institutions and the wider public about how FINMA fulfils its statutory responsibilities.

The main focus of FINMA’s work is the supervision of the financial sector. This is designed to ensure that the supervised financial institutions remain stable and successful going forward, given the possible risks they are facing. Assessing the risk position of individual supervised institutions is a critical part of FINMA’s supervisory activity. This makes its supervisory focus essentially forward-looking.

FINMA publishes a risk monitor annually. It provides an overview of what FINMA believes are the most important risks currently facing supervised institutions. Furthermore, each report will highlight one selected trend with the potential to impact on the Swiss financial market over the long term. The report will also describe the focus of FINMA’s supervisory activity on the basis of the risks. This will create additional transparency both for supervised institutions and the wider public about how FINMA fulfils its statutory responsibilities.

报告强调了数字资产的脆弱性,提到其在逃避制裁等金融犯罪中的使用,以及强有力的监管监督对减轻这些风险的重要性。

报告指出,加密货币,尤其是稳定币,越来越多地与洗钱和其他非法活动联系在一起,包括被用于逃避制裁和暗网交易,这加剧了金融监管机构的担忧。

“对于数字资产,FINMA 采取了针对机构的措施来降低洗钱风险,”该机构表示。

据了解,提供加密相关服务的瑞士金融中介机构正受到更严格的审查,以管理这些风险。FINMA 补充称,该领域的风险缓解措施不力会危及个别机构,并对整个瑞士金融业造成声誉风险。
