Wirex partners with Sumsub to ensure regulatory compliance with upcoming virtual asset service provider (VASP) Travel Rule obligations and ongoing transaction monitoring

LONDON, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A digital payment company Wirex has partnered with Sumsub, a global full-cycle verification platform. Sumsub will provide Wirex with its Transaction Monitoring capabilities, Travel Rule compliance solutions for virtual asset transfers, and its KYC (Know Your Customer) software to verify the identity of new clients.

The Financial Action Task Force (FAFT) is enforcing that virtual asset service providers (VASPs) must adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations to uphold transparency and accountability standards, with UK regulations set to come into force on September 1, 2023. Sumsub’s solution will enable secure Travel Rule information transfers between virtual VASPs, conducting all necessary KYC checks, AML screening, and verification orchestration in accordance with regulatory requirements and Wirex’s business needs.

The Travel Rule solution can be easily integrated with Sumsub’s advanced transaction monitoring (KYT) solution. Transaction monitoring encompasses a flexible set of procedures that typically include analysing sender/receiver profiles, calculating risk scores, and cross-checking KYC and transaction data.

Sumsub’s Transaction Monitoring solutions will assist Wirex in preventing financial fraud and maintaining compliance. Recent internal data revealed 70% of fraudulent activity occurs after the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) onboarding stage, highlighting the necessity for continuous monitoring.

“We are thrilled to be partnered with Sumsub to ensure seamless compliance with the upcoming regulatory requirements for virtual asset service providers. By utilising Sumsub’s Transaction Monitoring capabilities and Travel Rule compliance solutions, we’re committed to upholding the highest standards of security and protection for our user verification processes and our users’ virtual asset transactions,” said  Pavel Matveev, CEO and Co-Founder  of Wirex.

“The regulatory horizon is becoming increasingly complex, particularly for firms in the digital asset space. At Sumsub, we are committed to providing advanced verification and compliance solutions that empower businesses to navigate the evolving landscape – beyond the initial onboarding stage. This partnership with Wirex signifies a mutual commitment to maintaining the integrity of virtual asset transfers and ongoing transactions,” explained Andrew Sever, co-founder and CEO of Sumsub. “Our full-cycle verification solution offers a comprehensive picture of all customer risk profiles, allowing our clients to make better-informed decisions and keep their businesses safe.”

Hong Kong joins global crypto ETF race

Published

hong-kong-joins-global-crypto-etf-race

Hong Kong has entered the cryptocurrency ETF market with the debut of its first spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Tuesday, signaling the city’s ambition to compete with the US in the rapidly growing sector.

The launch, led by the Hong Kong units of three mainland Chinese asset managers — Bosera Asset Management, Harvest Global Investments, and China Asset Management — saw the introduction of two ETFs each tracking bitcoin and ether prices. Bosera’s funds were launched in collaboration with HashKey Capital.

On their debut, the three bitcoin ETFs closed between 1.5% and 1.8% higher, while the ether ETFs experienced slight losses of between 0.5% and 0.8%. Despite this, total trading turnover for all six ETFs, which included trading in US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and renminbi, reached approximately HK$99.5 million (US$12.7 million). In comparison, US-based funds saw turnover exceeding $4 billion on their first trading day.

The move marks Hong Kong’s commitment to becoming a significant player in the cryptocurrency space, following its announcement in 2022 amid pandemic restrictions and increased Chinese oversight. Joseph Chan, Hong Kong’s under-secretary for financial services and the treasury, emphasized the city’s leading position in Asia’s crypto asset development during the ETF listing ceremony.

Prior to this, CSOP Asset Management had launched Hong Kong’s first bitcoin and ether futures ETFs in late 2022, following the publication of rules for spot ETFs by the Securities and Futures Commission in December.

In January, the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved the country’s first spot bitcoin ETFs, which have since attracted significant assets under management and net inflows. Robert Zhan, director of risk consulting at KPMG China, remains optimistic about the potential of the Hong Kong funds, despite current market sentiments and relatively flat prices of bitcoin and ether leading up to the launch.

The launch of crypto-linked funds by major Chinese asset managers has generated excitement within the industry, despite China’s strict cryptocurrency regulations. Donald Day, COO of Hong Kong-based digital asset exchange VDX, believes the new funds will cater to active investors unable or unwilling to trade during US hours.
