- —Dataset covers exchanges, custodians, wallet providers and digital asset transfer services
- —Profiles include beneficial owners, directors, parent companies and original corporate documents
- —Data sourced from registries in 240+ jurisdictions, over 500 million entities total
- —FATF's July 2026 update flagged persistent difficulty identifying VASPs, especially offshore
Why it matters: Banks and fintechs need a way to vet the owners of crypto services that blockchain analytics alone cannot reveal.
