The Travel Rule has recently seen regulatory implementations in various jurisdictions, but are VASPs complying?

In this episode, Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) gets that answer and many more from Alice Nawfal, who co-founded and is acting COO of one of the leading Travel Rule solutions, Notabene. Alice shares her origins working in the decentralized identity space and how she ventured into the intricacies of Travel Rule compliance and the evolving regulatory landscape. Alice talks about the  challenges in creating solutions  for seamless cross-border transactions, while highlighting  how regulatory clarity, like the EU's MiCA, is poised to revolutionize institutional trust and compliance in the crypto world.

The conversation also focuses on self-hosted wallets and counterparty risk assessments in the crypto space, while offering insights into how the interoperability challenges for travel rule solutions can be solved.
