Could you elaborate on the FCA Crypto Register? I'm curious to understand its significance and purpose within the 
cryptocurrency and financial industry. As a professional in this field, I'm interested in knowing if this register serves as a regulatory tool, a directory of authorized entities, or both. I also want to know if it's mandatory for crypto firms to be listed on the FCA Crypto Register, and if so, what the implications are for those not adhering to this requirement. Lastly, I'm wondering how the register contributes to the overall safety and transparency of the crypto market.

    The crypto register stands distinct from the financial services register, which encompasses entities like banks and financial consultants.

    The assessment focuses on how these firms conduct anti-money laundering checks, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
