ACAMS Pittsburgh Chapter November 2025 Event: Sanctions in Flux: Navigating the New Risk Landscape

Overview

This event will cover key enforcement priorities including secondary sanctions, and maritime compliance, while highlighting the growing divergence between U.S., UK, and EU regimes. Attendees will also delve into emerging risks tied to digital assets—such as crypto mixers, DeFi platforms, and wallet tracing—and examine OFAC’s evolving stance on digital finance. The discussion will address how institutions are adapting to real-time screening demands driven by instant payment platforms like FedNow, and the operational challenges of alert fatigue and list ingestion speed.
