MENLO PARK, California, June 30, 2021 / PRNewswire-PRWeb / – Binance Holdings Ltd. (“Binance”) announced today that it has deployed CipherTrace Traveler, the leading commercial solution created to enable compliance with global “travel rules” regulations. Traveler is designed to help Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), including cryptocurrency exchanges, custodians, OTC trading desks, banks and other financial institutions, come into compliance with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) travel rules.

CEO of CipherTrace Dave jevans said, “We are confident that Traveler will help Binance continue to meet the highest standards of global anti-money laundering compliance, especially as the regulation of VASPs tightens in jurisdictions around the world. Our product is a solution that enables VASPs to achieve AML compliance without compromising security or business continuity. We are excited to work closely with Binance and look forward to supporting their business and commitment to global compliance.
Traveler simplifies the user experience by automatically identifying VASP-to-VASP transfers and the recipient VASP by analyzing addresses associated with incoming cryptocurrency transactions. Traveler securely checks the original VASP and the recipient’s VASP against each other. Traveler ensures that sensitive transaction confirmations are only shared with other travel-compliant institutions to prevent data leaks and maintain confidentiality. Additionally, Traveler helps overcome the Travel Rule Sunrise Issue by automating the onboarding and validation of new counterpart VASPs, especially those from jurisdictions that have not yet deployed these information sharing regulations.
Traveler is the first commercial Travel Rules Information Sharing Alliance (TRISA.io) which performs the VASP due diligence of the counterparty as prescribed by the FATF and issues Know Your VASP (KYV) digital certificates. Controlled VASPs can obtain and review the TRIXO Due Diligence Questionnaire developed by TRISA.
