June’s VASP Directory Report is filled with exciting updates. Before you hop in, be sure to check out our mission and vision and learn more about Notabene.
At Notabene, we’re on a mission to make crypto transactions a part of the everyday economy. Our market-leading solution allows financial institutions to manage regulatory and counterparty risk in crypto transactions—creating the last needed connection between the traditional financial industry and the crypto industry. Financial institutions and crypto exchanges use our first-to-market FATF Travel Rule solution to identify virtual asset accounts, perform mandated VASP due diligence, and manage regulatory and counterparty risks from one holistic dashboard.
In June, we saw a 12% increase in VASPs signed up in the directory to a total of 898 VASPs. The number of in-network VASPs, actively managing their accounts increased by another 12%. SuperVASPs increased by 8.8% in June. Activity window: May 25-June 25. Find more details below.

Continued activity through the industry downturn
Although the total value of all cryptocurrencies on the market has recently dropped below $1 trillion, down from $3 trillion in November 2021, taking transaction volume down with it, we’re noticing very little impact on growth and activity in Notabene’s directory. Industry players are taking this downtime to ramp up their compliance journeys and strengthen their compliance stack.
Additionally, Estonia’s enforcement date recently passed on June 15th, prompting a record number of Estonian VASPs to sign up to the directory, and become SuperVASPs (verified profile, claimed, and in-network) in record time. This region-specific uptake shows that VASPs will turn to the most accessible place to comply when the pressure is on.
VASP Directory Activity
Notabene provides its customers and crypto companies widely with a directory to build verified business profiles, share metrics around Travel Rule adoption, and perform counterparty due diligence to establish trusted bilateral relationships.
Directory data is available to any VASP that signs up for Notabene as a paid customer or as part of the free Sunrise Plan. Below, we share some highlights.
