As a financial professional, I'm curious to understand the guidance for crypto-asset trading platforms. Could you elaborate on the regulatory framework that these platforms must adhere to? Specifically, are there any requirements for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures? Additionally, are there any rules or policies concerning consumer protection, market manipulation, and transparency of transactions? Furthermore, are there any international collaborations or agreements among regulators to ensure consistency in the oversight of these platforms? I'm interested in understanding the overall regulatory landscape for crypto-asset trading platforms.
