Travel Rule at Scale: VerifyVASP Achieves 10M Verifications Worth $200B
SINGAPORE, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VerifyVASP, a leader in virtual asset compliance solutions, has reached significant milestones in Travel Rule implementation: $200 billion of verified transfers processed across 10 million successful verifications since its inception in 2022. The Travel Rule is an AML/CFT regulatory requirement mandating that financial institutions and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) share and verify certain user information when transferring funds or virtual assets according.
Elsa Madrolle, GM of EMEA, comments:
“That’s $200 billion of virtual assets consistently reaching the intended, verified counterparties, at a time when message responses are not always received in other implementations. We average a 92% verification success rate, so our members are reporting increased user trust. In the lead-up to implementation in the EU, we can demonstrate that the Travel Rule can be achieved, at scale, whilst actually improving the user experience.”
To achieve these milestones, VerifyVASP built a suite of solutions that verifies the identity of all stakeholders—both Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and end users—prior to transfers and deposits. A fully decentralised peer-to-peer protocol ensures immediacy and security. These solutions are able to verify both Travel Rule-obliged and non-obliged entities whilst always respecting legal basis, solving for a major problem of the sunrise issue.
In an era of unprecedented levels of scams, frauds, and illegal activities across virtual and traditional spheres, effective Travel Rule implementation is already mitigating some of these risks. VerifyVASP members are reporting a near-elimination of impersonation scams as reported by their users.
Travel Rule implementation has a significant impact on users: new requirements do require some changes to the user experience, but also build trust and confidence in using compliant member VASPs for transfers when correctly implemented.
As implementation deadlines approach in various jurisdictions, including the European Union, VerifyVASP’s achievements demonstrate that correct Travel Rule implementation is not just about compliance but is a key factor in building a more secure and thriving ecosystem.

2024-DNA Fund, the Financial Institution of the future in high-ticket emerging tech and web3 investments, has announced its acquisition of Coral Capital Holdings LLC, an established investment management firm that has previously managed millions in the DNA founders’ personal funds.
As early-stage investors in established Web3 brands and founders of some of the sector’s most notable projects, DNA and its founders have invested in or founded projects such as Tether, EOS, Mastercoin, Bancor, and Hedera Hashgraph. The acquisition will see the DNA Fund manage an additional AUM of over $50 million, which includes Coral’s high-yielde hedge funds and venture funds focused on DeFi, Al, blockchain, and other emerging technology sectors. Some of Coral’s top-performing investments include Near Protocol and Atmos Labs.
Thomas L. McLaughlin, Coral’s Chief Investment Officer, will continue in his role, managing the funds with a unique focus and strategy aimed at maximizing investor returns.
Regarding the acquisition, Christopher Miglino, CEO of DNA Fund, said. “By bringing Coral Capital under our umbrella, we are not only expanding our investment capabilities but also enhancing our ability to offer unique, high-growth opportunities to our clients. Our combined expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of the digital asset landscape and continue delivering value to our investors.”
Thomas L. McLaughlin, CIO of Coral Capital Holdings, added, “Joining forces with DNA Fund is an exciting new chapter for Coral. Our shared vision for leveraging technology to drive financial growth is perfectly aligned. Together, we are set to redefine what’s possible in digital asset investments and deliver superior results for our investors.”
Since its inception in 2021, Coral has delivered consistent returns with innovative strategies, delivering high multiples on the benchmark of the overall market cap of digital assets. Coral’s Flagship fund, initially started as a market-neutral vehicle, was rebranded in 2023 as a discretionary liquid token, surviving a number of high-volatility events, including FTX and Terra.
With a 61.6% return (net of fees) and a maximum annual drawdown of only 11.6% in FY 2022. these funds have outperformed the broader digital asset market. Over a similar period, Bitcoin returned 36.7%.
Through this acquisition, DNA Fund also aims to capitalize on the growing interest from institutional investors and expand into several new verticals over the coming year, including a Bitcoin & Ether Yield Fund, as well as more speculative funds focused on Al, memecoins and microcaps.
