Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWire) -- 10/03/2022 --There has been plenty of coverage of the "Travel Rule" recently, which is the EU's tool for ensuring that virtual crypto exchanges are capturing and sharing customer details. However, that's not the only way in which the EU has been focusing on crypto compliance risk regulation recently. There has also been a concerted effort to create a pretty expansive regulatory framework to bring harmony and clarity to member states across the EU. The landmark crypto compliance risk regulation framework is called Markets in Crypto Assets (MICA) and it applies to issuers of unbacked crypto assets and stablecoins as well as the myriad of wallets and trading venues where these are likely to be held.
MICA is such a landmark because it finally puts into place a comprehensive compliance risk regulation framework for crypto assets. The EU has been playing catch up for years as this technology has evolved and left it behind and anti-money laundering laws, which have been fragmented and full of loopholes, have been easily gamed across the EU. Now, this EU-wide regulation will provide an opportunity for regulators and governments across the continent to get out ahead of money laundering with much more comprehensive crypto compliance risk regulation in a clear and usable framework. As well as helping to prevent money laundering, MICA will better protect Europeans who are investing in crypto and help to prevent the misuse of crypto assets.
It will take a very wide range of AML tools and solutions to help change the picture where money laundering is concerned. That's an area where Lucinity is making a real contribution, providing organisations with a platform that actually works when it comes to minimising exposure to money laundering and financial crime. Despite the increase in regulation with respect to areas such as crypto assets, it is still difficult for organisations to stay on top of the best ways to combat money laundering and to access the most effective technology for this. Lucinity software represents a simple solution that is highly effective too. It is made up of a number of different elements that are vital when it comes to compliance risk regulation, including transaction monitoring with better detection, faster review and super-efficient SAR management, as well as actor intelligence that allows any organisation to gain a holistic view of its customers.
Lucinity software is now used worldwide by enterprises and organisations seeking to focus more on anti-money laundering and crypto compliance risk regulation. Today, the business has offices in Brussels and Reykjavik, London and New York and continues to expand year-on-year.
