NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 — Notabene, the trust layer for global money movement, today announced it has surpassed $1 trillion in transaction volume on its platform. This significant milestone highlights the accelerating adoption of Notabene's transaction authorization infrastructure due to compounding network effects and increasing regulatory clarity across the globe.

The achievement comes as Notabene continues to power the largest Travel Rule-compliant network of regulated crypto institutions worldwide, with transaction volumes growing at an accelerating rate. The company's unique open network, powered by the TAP (Transaction Authorization Protocol) that it helped develop, creates powerful network effects, where each new financial institution that joins the platform increases the value for all participants.

"Reaching $1 trillion in transaction volume isn't just a number—it's a testament to the network effects we've built into our business model," said Alice Nawfal, Co-founder and President of Notabene. "What's most exciting is the acceleration we're seeing. The trust infrastructure we've created becomes exponentially more valuable with each new participant, which is why we're seeing volumes grow at an increasingly rapid pace. While the first $500 billion took took three and a half years, the second happened in just 6 months."

“…the first $500 billion took took three and a half years, the second happened in just 6 months."

Notabene's platform enables financial institutions to verify counterparties, confirm address ownership, and authorize transactions before execution and blockchain settlement. As regulatory requirements for crypto transactions continue to evolve globally, Notabene's pre-transaction verification approach has become essential infrastructure for VASPs and financial institutions engaging with digital assets.

The milestone comes amid growing regulatory focus on cross-border transactions, particularly with the implementation of the European Union's Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) and similar frameworks worldwide highlighted in the recently released 2025 State of Crypto Travel Rule Report. Notabene's unique open protocol approach to verifying counterparty trust across all regulated entities and their intermediary parties has positioned it as critical infrastructure for both crypto-native and traditional financial institutions building out their crypto strategies as demand for stablecoin services surges. 

"What makes this milestone particularly meaningful is that it represents real growth in economic activity moving across borders with confidence and trust," added Nawfal. "Each transaction flowing through our platform represents financial institutions that can now facilitate crypto transactions with certainty, unlocking new ways of orchestrating the flow of digital assets - particularly in the stablecoin space."

Notabene continues to expand its capabilities, including enhanced self-hosted wallet verification, multi-protocol support, and automated policy engine technology that enables compliant cross-border transactions at scale.
