Just wrapped up an enlightening panel discussion on #TravelRule in EU. Here are some key takeaways: 1. On the main differences between the EU approach with that of Singapore and the 🇺🇸 US approach: Travel Rule in full effect in US. There is no confusion. CCOs, brace yourselves if you're not compliant! 2. 🇪🇺 EU's Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR): - There are specific requirements for handling missing info, reporting, and rejecting - More complicated? Maybe. But hey, at least you've got that coveted "regulatory clarity"! 😉 3. 🤔 3rd Party Self-hosted wallet verification: - The elephant in the room for TFR application and something we covered in our EU Summit in the Fireside chat with EBA - Article 19a has a list of mitigating measures that are meant to highlight a risk-based approach to identify and verify the identity of originator or beneficiary including through reliance on third parties. Time to get creative! 🚀 Shameless plug: At Notabene we're all about making compliance easier. From collecting missing data to reporting non-compliance, we've got you covered. And psst... we've just launched the industry's first support for 3rd party self-hosted wallets! So you can sleep better and have less headaches! You are welcome. Remember, in the world of crypto compliance, it's not about having all the answers – it's about knowing where to find them. And maybe having a good sense of humor along the way. 😎 #TravelRule #TFR

"SDX supports the institutionalization of the crypto market, and we believe this will happen in Europe through MiCA. Operating within a regulated environment aligns with our goals of market integrity, transparency and consumer protection. MiCA’s harmonized framework will accelerate the transition to a more regulated market, fostering collaboration with partners across jurisdictions. With the introduction of MiCA, Swiss providers face new regulatory challenges due to the lack of third-country equivalence. Being regulated in Switzerland does not grant market access to the EU, in principle requiring Swiss providers to establish a local legal entity and obtain the corresponding licenses in the EU. Overall, MiCA is indeed, a significant steppingstone towards a more integrated and trusted crypto market in the EU, aligning with SDX’s commitment to contribute to a more robust and institutional market space." Björn Flückiger, Head Legal at SDX. #SDX #digitalassets #MiCA #blockchain #financialservices
