Crypto-assets: The AMMC Organizes a Training Seminar with Chainalysis

The Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) organized a training seminar focused on the regulation of crypto-assets and blockchain analysis from December 8 to 11, 2025, in Rabat. The seminar, led by Chainalysis, brought together AMMC staff and representatives from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Interior, Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM), and the National Financial Intelligence Authority (ANRF). This broad participation reflects the shared commitment of national institutions to adopt a coordinated approach to the regulatory challenges posed by this emerging market. In his opening remarks, Mr. Tarik SENHAJI, President of the AMMC, emphasized the strategic importance of enhancing regulators' skills in light of the growing institutionalization of digital assets worldwide. He noted that this initiative aligns with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation No. 15, which requires the identification and assessment of risks associated with new technologies while ensuring regulation and oversight of virtual asset service providers. The program included a mix of theoretical concepts and practical case studies, covering the fundamentals of blockchain technology, asset typologies, and supervision methods. Participants also benefited from advanced demonstrations on investigation and fund tracing tools, allowing them to concretely understand transaction monitoring mechanisms. This training marks the first initiative of its kind organized by the AMMC and will be followed by similar actions. It is part of a broader effort to strengthen national capacities for effective, secure, and innovation-friendly regulation.
