Session Details

Virtual asset regulation has matured on paper. The Travel Rule, FATF Recommendation 15, and VASP licensing regimes now exist across most major jurisdictions. The gap is between the framework and the reality. Illicit value continues to move through information blind spots, unlicensed operators, and channels that supervision has not caught up to.

This session focuses on where that gap is widest and what practitioners can do about it. Our panelists will map the exposure that current controls miss, from cross-border transfers to non-traditional platforms, and discuss how supervisors are responding as virtual asset risk converges with sanctions and proliferation financing.

 

In this session, we will explore:

Closing the Information Gaps

  • Travel Rule implementation and the cross-border information gaps that persist between VASPs and jurisdictions

  • Offshore and unlicensed VASPs operating outside supervised perimeters

  • Supervisory and implementation gaps under FATF Recommendation 15


Risk in Non-Traditional Channels

  • Non-traditional virtual asset channels: NFTs, blockchain gaming, and betting platforms

  • Value moving through pseudonymous rails that conventional monitoring does not cover

  • Detecting activity that sits outside traditional VASP touchpoints

 

Convergence and Escalating Scrutiny

  • Convergence of virtual asset activity with sanctions evasion and proliferation financing

  • How threat actors combine channels to defeat single-point controls

  • What supervisors now expect as these risk areas overlap
