Proud to see Verifyo featured in Finextra tomorrow. Our CIO John Cavebring breaks down why Zero-Knowledge KYC matters right now, meeting stronger compliance expectations without turning KYC into a bigger data honeypot. Goes live Feb 17 • 10:00 UK 👇

Proud of what we’re building at Verifyo, and excited that Finextra is publishing this interview tomorrow. We’ll be talking about Zero-Knowledge KYC and the real tension teams face: meeting stronger compliance expectations without turning KYC into a bigger data honeypot. Goes live Feb 17 • 10:00 UK 👇

UK stablecoin issuers now have a fixed clock. ⚠ FCA cryptoasset authorisation gateway opens 30 Sep 2026; the joint FCA/BoE systemic-stablecoin consultation closes 28 Feb 2027. In force 25 Oct 2027. Demonstrable AML/KYC controls become the entry gate, not a roadmap item.

Even the biggest name walked: Binance withdrew its Greek MiCA application and suspended most EU services from 1 July (new orders, deposits, sign-ups, staking) — user funds remain withdrawable. Full recap: verifyo.com/insights/uk-cr…

244 firms now hold MiCA CASP authorisation across the EEA — down from 3,000+ pre-MiCA registrations. Poland alone: 1,400+ registered, one licensed. The transitional window shut 1 July. Authorisation, not scale, gates EU market access now. #MiCA

The UK has put a clock on systemic stablecoin issuers. FCA/BoE authorisation gateway opens 30 Sep 2026 → consultation closes 28 Feb 2027 → regime in force 25 Oct 2027. A fixed window for qualifying issuers to stand up AML/KYC and redemption controls. #Stablecoin

6 stablecoins · 8 chains · 3 jurisdictions. One cross-border transfer on the new settlement rail inherits 3 rule books per hop — screening duplicated per issuer × chain pair. The Travel Rule applies once per transaction, at every hop. verifyo.com/insights/stabl… #Stablecoin

From 1 July 2026, MiCA's transitional window shuts. Any firm serving EU crypto clients without a licence is in breach and must stop. ~80% of EU platforms are still unlicensed ⚠ If you hold crypto on one, check it is authorised before the deadline. #MiCA #CASP

⚠ UK cryptoasset gateway: opens 30 Sep 2026, closes 28 Feb 2027. Regime commences 25 Oct 2027. SI 2026/102 layers FSMA on top of MLR 2017 (FCA AML supervision since 10 Jan 2020). The architecture matters more than the date. verifyo.com/insights/fca-c… #CASP

100k verifications/month. Onfido: $150K–$350K/year paid away as service expense. Verifyo Pro (75,000 MTO): $150K held on the balance sheet. Tokens held — not staked, burned, or locked. Fully owned, transferable. Held asset vs recurring expense. verifyo.com/insights/verif…

Tether is leading a Series C of up to $1.4bn in NEURA Robotics to put self-custodial wallets inside humanoid robots. When the payer is a machine, "who is paying?" becomes "who controls the wallet?" → Payer identity doesn't disappear. It moves up a layer. tether.io/news

Paradigm + Hyperliquid to FinCEN: a wallet holding or transferring a stablecoin isn't the issuer's customer. GENIUS Act obligations calibrate to the primary market. Secondary is wallet-to-wallet. Where does the obligation attach? verifyo.com/insights/geniu… #GENIUSAct #stablecoins

Hold-to-Use is why Zero-Knowledge KYC fits token-native DeFi. Platforms hold MTO in-wallet to call the API — tokens aren't consumed, stay transferable. The verification layer reads the same token economics the protocol does. MiCA Title V binds 1 July. verifyo.com/insights/best-…

MoneyGram has launched MGUSD on Stellar. Bridge (Stripe) is the GENIUS Act issuer, M0 handles mint/burn, Fireblocks the wallets. 60M customers, 500K retail locations now in scope. Remittance-anchored stablecoin: identity lands on the originator side. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Data layer: a verifier-private attestation lets the counterparty verify the proof — the PII never moves. MTO token value can rise or fall. Illustrative figures are not a forecast or an expected return. This is not investment advice. verifyo.com/insights/verif… #MTO #TravelRule

Sumsub just opened Travel Rule onboarding to 2,100+ VASPs (Sumsub-stated) by removing the setup fee. The MTO parallel: platforms hold MTO to reach the Verifyo API — capital committed to an asset on your own balance sheet, not expensed per verification.

Mastercard now settles in 6 GENIUS Act stablecoins (USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD, SoFiUSD) across 8 chains. Cross River, Lead Bank, CBW, ARQ, Nuvei live. → The counterparty graph for every CASP and processor in that chain just expanded.

MiCA Article 5 obliges CASPs to assess money-laundering risk. Chainalysis 2026 finds direct-exposure flags miss 10x-20x of indirect flows. Identity attestation alone won't close it — pair with KYT. Transitional cliff: 1 July. verifyo.com/insights/indir…

OFAC adds Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin and Ramzinex to the SDN under EO 13224 + EO 13902. $40bn+ in tracked flows across four operating CASPs. Every Travel-Rule counterparty one hop downstream now refreshes name-screening against a moved target. elliptic.co/blog/ofac-sanc… #TravelRule

Mastercard stablecoin settlement now spans 6 tokens (USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD, SoFiUSD) across 8 chains (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Canton, Tempo, XRPL). GENIUS Act = payment-eligible. Evidence has to travel with the wallet. verifyo.com/insights/maste… #MiCA

MiCA tells a stablecoin issuer what to disclose. It doesn't tell it how to secure the key that mints the token. StablR lost ~$13.5M to a 1-of-3 multisig key compromise — reserves intact, key-management out of scope. The resilience gap is a key. #MiCA

A 1-of-3 multisig is not multisig — it's a single key with two unused slots. StablR (Malta MFSA EMI, MiCA EMT issuer) lost ~$13.5M in unbacked USDR+EURR. MiCA covers reserves and disclosures. Not minting-key custody. coindesk.com/markets/2026/0… #MiCA #stablecoin
