A strategic collaboration to streamline regulatory compliance and enhance risk management for VASPs.
Geneva, Switzerland Global Ledger, a Swiss leader in blockchain analytics and anti-money laundering (AML) solutions, has partnered with 21 Analytics, a security-first developer of Travel Rule compliance software. Together, they aim to support Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) in meeting global regulatory requirements through secure, privacy-focused, and efficient data exchange.
Key Benefits for VASPs
Integrated Blockchain Intelligence
VASPs using 21 Analytics’ Travel Rule solution can now access Global Ledger’s real-time blockchain analytics for enhanced due diligence. This includes the GL Score, which evaluates counterparty risk based on source and use of funds, providing early detection of potentially suspicious activity.
Full Control over Compliance
With 21 Analytics, VASPs maintain full control over their Travel Rule operations—even when transacting with counterparties who aren’t yet compliant. The integration with Global Ledger allows in-house risk assessments, eliminating the need to outsource sensitive processes.
Automated and Secure Compliance with 21 Analytics and Global Ledger
21 Analytics is the only solution offering on-premises Travel Rule compliance, keeping sensitive data within the VASP’s infrastructure. Combined with Global Ledger’s tools, it enables automatic identification of high-risk wallet addresses, particularly helpful when verifying self-hosted wallets.
“Both of our companies are committed to building solutions that not only meet regulatory requirements but also prioritise efficiency, security, and privacy. This partnership is about enabling seamless crypto operations while safeguarding user data.”
— Lex Fisun, Co-Founder & CEO, Global Ledger
By leveraging open Travel Rule protocols and on-premises software, this collaboration allows VASPs to exchange data peer-to-peer, without exposing sensitive information to third parties. The result: compliance with FATF standards and local laws without compromising data protection.
“At 21 Analytics, we believe that compliance shouldn’t come at the expense of decentralisation or security. Our partnership with Global Ledger reinforces our mission to deliver the most secure and user-friendly Travel Rule solution for VASPs.”
— Lucas Betschart, COO & Co-Founder, 21 Analytics
