AML Compliance for Precious Metals & Crypto

Last Updated: September 16, 2025

Disclaimer: This page provides general information only and is not legal or tax advice.

Veldt maintains a written AML Compliance for Precious Metals & Crypto Program designed for the precious-metals trade. Our goal is simple: prevent misuse of our products and services while keeping your experience fast and private. We follow a risk-based approach consistent with U.S. guidance for dealers in precious metals and routinely review/refresh our program.

AML Reporting Thresholds

Buying Gold with Bitcoin
Purchases

For larger orders (e.g., $20,000+ in a calendar year), we perform KYC identity verification (name, address, and a valid government ID) and maintain records consistent with our program.

Selling Gold for Bitcoin
Sales

For initial sales of $20,000 or more, we collect your name, address, and date of birth, and verify identity with a valid government ID and maintain records consistent with our program.

Cash IRS Form 8300
Cash

If a trade or business receives > $10,000 in cash in one or related transactions, U.S. rules require Form 8300 reporting. If that ever applies to you, we’ll let you know what information is needed and why. (This does not apply to non-cash or crypto payments.)

Privacy Concerns

We encourage encrypted email (e.g., Proton Mail) for sensitive info. Once received, customer data is encrypted and stored securely offline. We do not share personal information without a valid court order. See our Privacy Policy for details.

 

If you have any questions about our AML Policy or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact us

FAQ

 For large orders or higher-risk scenarios, yes – typically a valid government ID plus basic contact details, per our AML program.

Only when legally required (e.g., Form 8300 for cash > $10,000 in one or related transactions). Card, bank wire, and crypto payments generally don’t trigger Form 8300.

We may screen customers/transactions against OFAC sanctions lists and decline prohibited activity.
