What Compliance Means in Spain
The starting point in Spain is the market itself: Madrid and Barcelona both host serious fintech clusters, with Banco de España running the sandbox and the CNMV’s crypto advertising rules previewing MiCA-era conduct supervision. FATF standards demand risk-based due diligence, blockchain-native monitoring, wallet screening, and the Travel Rule, while EU operations now route through MiCA authorisation. National law adds its own layer through Law 10/2010.
The cost of misreading this market is concrete. Correspondent and banking relationships everywhere depend on demonstrable compliance quality, and perimeter questions around EU customers carry real consequences. Reverse solicitation is narrower than most business plans assume. We build frameworks for Spain from local supervisory reality rather than generic EU templates.

VASP Compliance Questions Answered
What is a VASP under FATF standards?
Any business conducting exchange, transfer, safekeeping, or issuance services for virtual assets, triggering full AML/CFT obligations under national implementations of FATF standards.
How do VASPs comply with the Travel Rule?
By transmitting required originator and beneficiary information with transfers, using interoperable technical solutions and conducting due diligence on counterparty VASPs, which we help implement, including Law 10/2010 duties.
Do VASPs need licences in Europe?
EU operations now require CASP authorisation under MiCA, replacing national VASP registrations, and we manage transitions and fresh applications across member states.
How should VASPs handle wallet screening?
Through blockchain analytics identifying sanctions exposure, illicit sources, and high-risk counterparties, calibrated to your risk appetite and documented for regulators every time.
Can non-EU VASPs serve European customers?
Only within strict limits: reverse solicitation is narrow, and active EU marketing or servicing generally requires authorisation, a perimeter we help assess honestly.
