  Yes, there are additional compliance requirements for registered investment advisors when dealing with cryptocurrencies. As cryptocurrencies are a relatively new asset class, regulatory bodies have been working to establish guidelines to ensure investor protection and prevent money laundering. Some of the compliance requirements include conducting thorough due diligence on cryptocurrency investments, implementing robust cybersecurity measures, and adhering to anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. It is important for registered investment advisors to stay updated with the evolving regulatory landscape and ensure compliance to maintain the trust of their clients.
