The energy in the room this week at the Blockchain Association Policy Summit was incredible! We're looking forward to working with US regulators as they advance pro-crypto policy to usher in a new era of financial inclusion and opportunity 🇺🇸 At Notabene, we're committed to playing an active role connecting, educating, and learning from both regulators and industry leaders to champion regulatory guidance that keeps consumers safe, safeguards against illicit financial activity, and expands the market for everyone! Special thanks to Dan Spuller, Kristin Smith, and the Blockchain Association for hosting an amazing event 👏 Check out the post from Lana Schwartzman - CAMS, CCFC, CRC, NB-TRFC for a few key takeaways... 👇
Head of Regulatory and Compliance at Notabene || NFT, Web3, Crypto Compliance
A powerhouse lineup at the Blockchain Association Policy Summit! 🚀 Can you guess which representatives/senators now know about Notabene and the importance of #TravelRule in its role of stoping illicit activity?? Here are my main takeaways: 🔥 Senator Cynthia Lummis discussed her proactive role in shaping crypto policy, including stablecoin legislation and proposing a strategic Bitcoin reserve to tackle national debt. She stressed the need for clear regulations to attract innovation and bipartisan action on de-banking issues. 💼 SHE IS AWESOME 👏 I’ve been following her from the day (years ago) when she said that she read the Bitcoin Standard! 🏛️ Commissioner Summer Mersinger highlighted the CFTC’s principles-based approach to crypto regulation, focusing on innovation and market-driven solutions while protecting markets. 📈 She is such an incredible powerhouse and so thoughtful! 🗣️ Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda criticized the SEC’s enforcement-heavy stance, calling for transparency, public input, and a tailored disclosure framework. Collaboration with Congress and the CFTC and a culture shift at the SEC are critical for meaningful progress. Thankfully, Paul Atkins is ready to lead that charge! 💡 🇺🇸 Reps. French Hill and Patrick McHenry reflected on advancing digital asset policy through the Fit 21 bill and creating a digital asset subcommittee. Federal stablecoin standards and clear market structures are the way forward for clarity and transparency. 🏦 Its incredible that Representative J. French Hill will assume the role of Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, a pivotal congressional panel overseeing the U.S. financial sector, including banking, securities, and digital assets. 💥 🌍 Senator Tim Scott shared his vision for financial inclusion and the role of digital assets in democratizing finance. Plans for bipartisan collaboration and reducing regulatory burdens are key to empowering entrepreneurs. 🚀 🛡️Superintendent Adrienne Harris spoke about NYDFS’s rigorous crypto framework as a model for regulation. She emphasized consumer protection, state-federal collaboration, and engaging with stakeholders to harmonize standards. 🤝 The message? Collaboration, clarity, and innovation are essential for the future of crypto. Everyone is super excited about crypto regulation with the new administration, moving things and making it happen. You could feel the excitement and positivity in room. Also fun fact was the 1/4 of Americans own crypto! We not going anywhere except 🚀 Kudos to Dan Spuller, Kristin Smith, and the rest of the Blockchain Association for hosting such critical conversation! 🙌 #BlockchainPolicy #CryptoRegulation #BitcoinReserve #Innovation #DigitalAssets

Last week, we asked you...

CASPs operating under existing frameworks (like AMLD or other AML/CFT regimes) must adhere to all applicable compliance requirements – including the Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, also known as the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR). 🧠 Want to dive deeper?

What a great session yesterday with our partners at Chainalysis! Lana Schwartzman - CAMS, CCFC, CRC, NB-TRFC, Matthias Bauer-Langgartner, and Fabien Ribert dropped a TON of great tips and insights that are specifically relevant to establishing a TFR compliance program. 𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 we helped clarify rules on (and showcased solutions for 🙌) the most popular topic, handling 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 under the TFR, but also covered a lot more ground, including: 🔹 Scope of information required 🔹 Self-hosted wallet thresholds 🔹 Required reporting of non-compliance 🔹 Counterparty due diligence (Chainalysis risk assessment solution makes this process seamless from directly within Notabene’s SafeTransact platform) 🔹 MiCA vs TFR: clarifying the important differences 𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵? We’re not gonna lie, it is! That’s why it can be helpful to have partners like Notabene and Chainalysis in your corner to help make sense of these fluid requirements and how best to implement a successful compliance program for your company.
