    In Portugal, cryptocurrency exchanges are subject to certain regulations to ensure transparency and protect investors. The key requirements include obtaining a license from the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) and complying with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Exchanges must also maintain proper records and implement security measures to safeguard users' funds. These regulations aim to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities in the cryptocurrency market.
