SINGAPORE, March 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The world's first hybrid liquidity aggregator, Finxflo, has signed a deal with Onchain Custodian to provide custody services in preparation to meet updated anti-money laundering (AML) regulation, commonly known as the 'Travel Rule'.
The Travel Rule requires crypto companies to share customer information with each other as part of a transaction. As more and more jurisdictions around the world begin to implement these rules as a prerequisite to obtaining operating licenses, it is imperative for key industry players like Finxflo to have all of the required contingencies in place.
Many global crypto firms have been struggling with the practical challenges of the travel rule as they contend with maintaining a robust process where the ability to comply with the rule is largely dependent on counterparties providing the necessary information.
In Singapore, however, the MAS have adopted a proactive approach, and have already provided clear guidance on the travel rule (MAS PSN02), which is helping to create a safe environment for firms to make a head start on compliance before the global regulatory go-live.
Onchain Custodian is an integral custody and open finance service for institutional clients to manage digital assets safely and securely whilst complying with compliance requirements, among which those set out under the Travel Rule. They continue to make significant advances in this space and are participating in the several Singapore testing programme.
