Why Attend

With regulatory frameworks like MiCA, DORA, and evolving Travel Rule enforcement timelines converging around 2026, the operating environment for VASPs is more demanding than ever. This session brings clarity to:

• How attribution informs effective compliance decisions
• How to make risk-based approaches defensible under scrutiny
• How technology can bridge gaps that manual processes can’t

Attribution capabilities in blockchain compliance have improved significantly, but ambiguity persists — especially when identifying counterparty VASPs across chains, intermediaries, and jurisdictions. In this session, we explore how the Travel Rule is being applied in practice in 2026, how attribution limitations shape risk decisions, and how firms build defensible compliance programs under increasing regulatory scrutiny.

By joining, you’ll gain practical insights into the intersection of Travel Rule requirements, on-chain intelligence signals, and compliance operations — including a live demo of VASP attribution in transaction flows.

✅ Understand how the Travel Rule is being applied in practice in 2026

✅ See a practical VASP attribution demo and implementation best practices

✅ Gain a clear framework for interpreting blockchain risk and intelligence signals
