The Travel Rule: A turning point for crypto and finance.

Introduced by the FATF in 2019, the Travel Rule requires crypto exchanges and financial institutions to share customer information for transfers over €1,000, aiming to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

The  EBA has stepped in with its own guidance, making compliance even more complex.

These new expectations mean:

• Tighter KYC procedures
• Mandatory data sharing on cross-border crypto transactions
• A shift toward regulatory alignment with traditional finance

For crypto firms: It’s a push into a more regulated world—with increased operational demands.
For financial institutions: It's a framework for safely integrating digital assets.

But here’s the real challenge: How do we balance crypto’s decentralized nature with rising demands for transparency?

The way the industry responds will shape the future of digital finance—and public trust.
