Global Standards, Local Enforcement for VASPs
The VASP designation comes from FATF standards, and it carries the full weight of global AML expectations: risk-based customer due diligence, transaction monitoring built for blockchain activity, sanctions screening including wallet exposure, and the Travel Rule requiring originator and beneficiary information on transfers. National regulators enforce these standards with widely varying registration and licensing regimes.
For VASPs touching Europe, the landscape has consolidated: EU operations now require CASP authorisation under MiCA, while the transfer of funds regulation implements the Travel Rule with detailed requirements. Non-EU VASPs serving European customers face perimeter questions with real consequences, and correspondent relationships everywhere depend on demonstrable your compliance quality.

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.
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.
