  Crypto exchanges in New Zealand are subject to regulations set by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) and the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act (AML/CFT Act). These regulations aim to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. Crypto exchanges must register with the FMA and implement robust customer due diligence procedures to verify the identity of their users. They are also required to report suspicious transactions and comply with ongoing monitoring and reporting obligations. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties and legal consequences.
