💡Financial institutions don't need to rebuild their compliance programs to engage with digital assets. The same risk principles that underpin BSA and global AML frameworks still apply. What changes is the data layer: Public blockchains provide transparent, auditable transaction records that let compliance teams trace fund flows across dozens of hops and multiple networks. In our latest article, we break down how digital asset risk fits into existing frameworks. Link in the comments👇

🚦An AML false positive is when a legitimate transaction gets flagged as presenting material risk. It's one of the most common operational challenges in compliance. In digital asset markets, structural differences like pseudonymous wallets, cross-chain fund flows and 24/7 trading volumes can make it harder to keep false positives to a minimum. The good news: Better data, smarter rules and broader blockchain visibility go a long way. Our latest article covers five practical strategies for reducing false positives and building a more effective compliance program. Link to the article in the first reply👇

🗽 New York delivered. The American Banker ON-CHAIN Executive Summit brought together the leaders shaping the future of finance. Our VP of Strategic Advisory, Peter Phelan, took to the stage as a speaker on the 'Regulation won't save you panel', sharing his insights on what responsible digital asset integration really looks like for traditional financial institutions. Here's what stood out 👇 🔹 TradFi is no longer on the sidelines. The regulatory shift in the US has changed everything. The question is no longer if institutions will integrate digital assets, but how. 🔹 The bar for responsible integration is high. Traditional institutions bring decades of regulatory relationships and compliance infrastructure. When they flip the switch on digital assets, the stakes are significant and they know it. 🔹 Regulation won't save you. With regulators now supportive of digital asset adoption, institutions can no longer use regulatory uncertainty as a reason to wait. The work starts now. 🔹 The two worlds are converging. TradFi leaders and crypto-native builders are learning each other's language. That convergence is where the real opportunity lies. It was a hugely positive summit. 🤝 We're looking forward to the conversations ahead.

🪎 Any business that touches digital assets now faces AML obligations. Whether you're a crypto exchange, a bank offering custody or a payment provider processing stablecoin transactions, the requirements are the same: verify customers, monitor transactions, screen against sanctions lists and report suspicious activity. What makes crypto different is how you meet those obligations. Pseudonymous wallets, cross-chain fund flows and privacy-enhancing technologies create challenges that traditional AML controls were never designed for. Our latest article breaks down what crypto AML compliance involves, the regulations shaping it across the US, EU, UK and globally, and what a compliance program needs to include. Link in the comments👇
