Uzbekistan Tightens Internal Controls for Crypto Firms
- —The decree was registered on September 28, 2026 and takes effect upon official publication
- —Rules clarify client due diligence, use of third parties for data verification and suspicious activity reporting
- —Dual oversight by NAPP and the anti-economic-crime department under the Prosecutor General's Office
- —Amendments align local requirements with international AML/CFT standards
Why it matters: The tighter rules raise compliance costs for crypto firms in Uzbekistan and could slow new entrants to the market.
