Shyft Network has partnered with BCW Group to expand its reach with leading Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) in Asia looking for a decentralised-focused Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Travel Rule compliant network solution.
On July 14, Shyft Network announced the launch of Versicope, an end-to-end decentralised solution to the FATF Travel Rule. Veriscope is an open-source network solution that enables counterparties to establish data-sharing rules and meet multi-jurisdictional requirements necessary to fulfill global compliance standards, including the FATF Travel Rule, all while adhering to GDPR and other data privacy guidelines. As enforcement of FATF guidelines have commenced, VASPs are now mandated to share sender (originator) and receiver (beneficiary) information in cryptocurrency transactions above a certain threshold. Shyft Network has rapidly gained industry credibility as top players such as Binance and other major VASPs in Asia have partnered with the network to take advantage of its decentralised infrastructure and operate in a compliant manner under the watchdog’s guidelines.
BCW Group is a fintech-focused strategy consulting firm that specialises in digital payments, digital assets, and DLT infrastructure. BCW Group will assist Shyft Network to create coalitions with VASPs and global payment service providers offering services in the DLT space. The BCW consulting team will work with existing partners and clients to educate, integrate and implement Shyft Network’s attestation network. BCW Group joins a prestigious ecosystem of partners working to expand the infrastructure of the network.
Dwight van Diem, Managing Partner for BCW Group is excited by the potential, “The Shyft Network team have created a rather elegant solution to a complex problem – one that complies with the new FATF regulations but also looks to maintain the decentralised spirit of the industry”
“We launched Veriscope with one objective: to empower VASPs to collaborate and engage at a global, compliant scale, without risking user’s sovereignty of their data. We have witnessed the ability that BCW has to bring Fortune 500s and industry powerhouses to the table with creatively designed ways to structure mutually beneficial partnerships that advance the maturation of the industry,” – noted Joseph Weinberg, Co-Founder of Shyft Network
