Scorechain, the leading blockchain analytic and crypto compliance solution provider, has partnered with Qredo, a decentralized digital asset management infrastructure, and product suite, for a Travel Rule compliance solution.

What is the Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule requires virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to share identifying information from senders and recipients of domestic crypto transactions, such as names, addresses, and ID documentation. More specifically, for each transaction, the origin VASP must share data about the sender with the destination VASP and the destination VASP must share data about the receiver with the origin VASP.

In its updated guidance from October 2021, FATF includes additional businesses in its definition of VASPs. Companies providing any of the following services to customers are within the scope of the guidance:

• "Exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies;
• Exchange between one or more forms of virtual assets;
• Transfer of virtual assets; and
• Safekeeping and/or administration of virtual assets or instruments enabling control over virtual assets;
• Participation in and provision of financial services related to an issuer's offer and/or sale of a virtual asset."

How Qredo helps VASPs comply with the Travel Rule

Regulators are actively starting to implement the Travel Rule for VASPs, with 29 jurisdictions adopting relevant Travel Rule regulations, according to FATF's latest 12-month review. It is, therefore, time for VASPs to begin implementing processes and tools to prepare for Travel Rule regulations to roll out in their jurisdiction.

Qredo Travel Rule Compliance minimizes the regulatory burden by directly binding metadata to transactions, creating packets that can be automatically processed according to compliance frameworks without the need for cumbersome reconciliation.
