Why work with Ivanka on FATF Recommendation 16 — Virtual Asset Travel Rule
FATF (Financial Action Task Force) Recommendation 16 (the Travel Rule) as applied to virtual assets requires Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to obtain, hold, and transmit originator and beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers exceeding USD/EUR 1,000. Adopted in 2019 as part of FATF's Updated Guidance on Virtual Assets and VASPs. Implementation varies by jurisdiction: EU via Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) recast, US via FinCEN rules, Singapore via PSA, Japan via JFSA guidance. Key challenge: technical implementation for blockchain transactions lacking a natural messaging layer. Solutions include TRUST (Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology), OpenVASP, and Shyft Network.
