Over the last few years, we have seen global regulators — from Singapore to Hong Kong, the U.S. to the U.K — zero in on crypto transactions. And much of that discussion has centered around one regulation: the Travel Rule.

While the Travel Rule has been discussed and debated, we are now hearing a louder drumbeat for implementation. What does that mean for crypto compliance and how should firms think about approaching implementation?

Watch this TRM Talk to hear a panel of compliance experts discuss:

- The implications of FATF's recent call for implementation of the Travel Rule
- Challenges and considerations on the path to compliance
- Guidance as to how firms can approach implementation
