  Banks ask for information about your cryptocurrency transactions to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. By gathering information about your cryptocurrency transactions, banks can assess the risk associated with these transactions and ensure that they are not facilitating any illegal activities.
