THAILAND SETS A TRAVEL RULE DEADLINE: 27 FEBRUARY 2027 Thailand's SEC has finalised its crypto Travel Rule framework. Five-year record retention, enhanced data collection above 30,000 baht (~$900), and identification on every transfer regardless of size. The hard part: when assets move to or from a self-hosted wallet, operators must verify the customer actually controls that address. Private wallets carry no KYC data by design. Five months to build it. 👉 Read more: buff.ly/RrumVYN #TravelRule #Thailand #CryptoAML #VASP #FATF #Compliance #Blockpass

$2.75 TRILLION WAS RAISED PRIVATELY IN A SINGLE YEAR SEC Form D data: Regulation D offerings raised about $2.75 trillion in 2023, across 56,721 filings. Regulation A raised $1.1 billion the same year. Private placements are where most capital actually moves. Over 35,000 of those were new offerings — and each carries an obligation to assess investor status. That duty sits with the company raising, not the investor.

CHECKING A BOX IS NOT VERIFICATION The SEC says it plainly: self-certification alone — an investor ticking a box to confirm they're accredited — does not meet the standard under Rule 506(b) or 506(c). A surprising number of early-stage raises still run on exactly that. Under 506(c) the bar is "reasonable steps to verify." The SEC's own accepted methods include reviewing IRS forms for income, or net worth documents dated within the prior three months — bank statements, brokerage statements, a credit report — plus a written representation from the investor. A letter from a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, attorney or CPA also works if it's within three months. One detail founders miss: once an investor is properly verified, a written representation covers you for five years. The work is front-loaded, not repeated every round. That's the argument for doing it properly the first time rather than scrambling at each close. Is your data room collecting documents, or verifying them? #InvestorKYC #Startups #Fundraising #RegulationD #AccreditedInvestor #Compliance #KYC #Blockpass

GET COMPLIANCE IN PLACE BEFORE SOMEONE ASKS FOR IT Most startups don't decide when compliance starts. A banking partner does, or an exchange listing condition, or an investor's lawyer during due diligence. Triggered that way, you have weeks not months — and the listing or the round waits while you sort it out. Basic plan: $99/month, every dollar becomes verification credit. Investor KYC across 200+ ID document types, Crypto AML and AML screening, live from day one. Contact [email protected] 👇 #Startups #CryptoStartups #InvestorKYC #Compliance #Web3 #Blockpass

THE FCA CRYPTO AUTHORISATION WINDOW OPENS ON 30 SEPTEMBER 🇬🇧 Opens 30 Sept 2026, closes 28 Feb 2027. Two things to be clear on: → MLR registration does NOT automatically convert — you need fresh FSMA authorisation → Apply in the window and you can keep operating while it's processed. Apply late and you can't onboard new customers from 25 Oct 2027 unless already approved The next few months are about evidence, not intent. #FCA #CryptoRegulation #UKCrypto #AML #KYC #Compliance #Blockpass

CHECKING A CUSTOMER ONCE NO LONGER MEETS THE STANDARD Regulators increasingly expect customer risk to be managed continuously, not verified once at onboarding and filed away. The hard part: expired IDs, changed addresses and new sanctions listings don't announce themselves. Nothing in your dashboard changes — the record just stops being accurate. A scheduled review cycle fixes that, and it shouldn't be identical for every customer. 👉 Read more: buff.ly/kNQdvhe #PeriodicReview #KYC #AML #Compliance #Blockpass

EVERY KYC FILE YOU STORE IS A LIABILITY KYC is treated as something you collect. But everything you collect, you then have to protect — access controls, retention schedules, deletion processes, and a disclosure plan if it's ever breached. Reusable KYC changes that. The user holds their own verified profile and shares it with you. You get the verification outcome without taking custody of another copy of their passport. Less data collected, less to secure, less to explain if something goes wrong. And onboarding takes seconds, because the customer already did the work once. The safest customer data is the data you never had to store. How much verification data is your business holding that it doesn't strictly need? 👇 #ReusableKYC #KYC #DataProtection #Compliance #Privacy #Blockpass

A RISKY WALLET LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A CLEAN ONE No accent, no dodgy document, no mismatched address. Whatever instinct you've built reviewing identity files doesn't transfer to a string of characters. So screening is non-negotiable. But the harder question: what happens after a wallet is flagged? Block? Hold and ask? Report and proceed? What's your policy? 👇 #CryptoAML #WalletScreening #AML #Compliance #Blockpass

SCREEN THE WALLET BEFORE THE MONEY MOVES Outbound transfers should be checked against sanctions lists, darknet clusters and ransomware addresses before execution — not after. Screen first and the risky transfer never happens. Screen after and you're doing incident response. Crypto AML (API-First) returns a risk score in real time, fast enough to sit inside the withdrawal flow. 👉 Read it here: buff.ly/yJAfDZL #CryptoAML #WalletScreening #AML #Compliance #Blockpass

AFTER YEARS OF ENFORCEMENT, THE SEC IS PROPOSING ACTUAL RULES 🇺🇸 A formal proposal for a "clear and fit-for-purpose framework" covering certain crypto investment contracts — a shift from regulation-by-enforcement to defined compliance pathways for token issuers. 🇰🇷 And South Korea is now building AI into its national market surveillance. Clearer rules and sharper monitoring, arriving together. 👉 Read it here: buff.ly/HooRjBF #Web3 #CryptoRegulation #SEC #Compliance #Blockpass

DO YOU NEED FULL KYC JUST TO CHECK A WALLET? Often you don't. Before a deposit or withdrawal, you need a risk signal on the wallet — not a full identity file on the person. Crypto AML (API-First): submit a wallet address, get a real-time risk score. No personal data, no redirects. API or dashboard, your choice. 👉 Read it here: buff.ly/yJAfDZL #CryptoAML #AML #Compliance #DeFi #Blockpass

KYC Periodic Reviews keeps it on schedule instead. 👉 Read it here: buff.ly/jLSwk5C #KYC #AML #Compliance #RegTech #Blockpass
