What We Do

  • Travel Rule compliance in line with your local regulation
  • Counterparty sanctions screening
  • Self-hosted wallet identification

Our Regulatory and Compliance team specializes in navigating the complex world of crypto compliance. We're not just observers but proactive participants in shaping policy and regulatory guidance.

Here's how we make a difference:

Global Industry Leadership

At the core of the crypto regulatory compliance realm, we lead with innovation, actively shaping Travel Rule policies through our role in the FATF's Virtual Asset Contact Group and as co-leaders of CryptoUK's Travel Rule working group.
By crafting informed consultation responses, we ensure our clients' perspectives are represented at the highest levels, advocating for a balanced and forward-looking regulatory framework.

Regulatory Sandboxes

In preparation for the UK's Travel Rule enforcement date, we participated in the UK’s FCA Regulatory Sandbox.

Our testnet program allowed VASPs to explore Travel Rule compliance, offering insights to address challenges. Our efforts contributed to shaping the UK's compliance guidelines through valuable feedback.

International Collaboration and Testnets

We run testnet programs globally with cohorts of VASPs, sometimes observed by local regulators. We have completed them in the UAE, Singapore, Japan, the UK, and Hong Kong.

These programs allow VASPs to gain practical experience with Travel Rule compliance in a safe sandbox environment. These are also important forums to educate participants on the key challenges of the Travel Rule and for peers to engage in discussions about effective solutions.

Active Dialogues with Financial Regulators

We maintain a constant dialogue with international regulatory bodies, offering global insights from implementing and operationalizing Travel Rule and influencing the evolution of crypto regulations worldwide.

We maintain an active dialogue with key bodies, shaping the regulatory landscape around the world.
