  Cryptocurrency businesses in Singapore are required to comply with the travel rule, which is a regulation aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. Under the travel rule, cryptocurrency businesses must collect and verify customer information, including the sender and recipient's name, address, and account details, for transactions above a certain threshold. They are also required to keep records of these transactions and report suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. Failure to comply with the travel rule can result in penalties and legal consequences.

They must implement robust know-your-customer (KYC) procedures to verify the identity of their customers. Additionally, they need to establish effective transaction monitoring systems to detect and report any suspicious activities. It is crucial for these businesses to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of their transactions to ensure compliance with the travel rule. Non-compliance can lead to reputational damage and regulatory sanctions.
