1/ Part 3(1)

We've got a wonderful response to our previous Veriscope campaign, where we covered many facets of Shyft Veriscope.

Now, it's time to know how Shyft Veriscope solves the problems VASPs (read: crypto businesses) face during Travel Rule compliance💡
2/ As we discussed previously, there are two integral elements of Veriscope's Travel Rule compliance infrastructure: Shyft Discover & Veriscope Share.

But, for this week, we will focus on problems Shyft Discover solves and how it does it.

Let's go! 🚶‍♂️
3/ Shyft Discover solves two problems:

Know Your VASP ✔
Address Attribution ✔

Today, we will look into Know Your VASP 👀

Here's how it works:

First, VASPs register & create their profile on Shyft Network. ✅
4/ Next, VASPs add information about themselves to their Shyft Network profile.✅

It includes information like:

Wallet address ✔
Entity Name ✔
Entity Identifier ✔
Incorporation Date ✔
Registered Address ✔
Legally valid Jurisdiction ✔
Licensing number ✔

And many points.
5/ The information that VASPs added can then be verified & validated by other parties on the network. 🔎

The higher the number of attestations = The higher the trust! 🔺️

Basically, think of individual VASP profiles as searchable open, decentralized, public identities.
6/ Analogically speaking, Shyft Discover is much like a global address book of VASPs 📖

That's it for today.

Comment your questions below in case you have any. We will answer them asap. 👋

1/ Part 3(2)

This week, we already covered #Shyft Discover's Know Your VASP capability. 

And today, we will look into how Shyft Discover solves the address attribution problem. 👀
2/ If you have been with us since day 1 of the Veriscope campaign, you will know we looked into the basics of address attribution in the early days of the campaign. 

If not, visit our previous 🧵 on address attribution below👇

3/ Address attribution basically means accurately verifying the beneficiary VASP’s wallet address 🔎

Why is it important❓👇🏼

It enables VASPs (read = #crypto businesses) to verify whether the counterparty VASP is indeed the correct party or not.

1/ Paraguay's legislature 🇵🇾 has failed to reverse President Mario Abdo Benitez's veto on the crypto regulation bill. 📜

Let's start by turning the clock ⏰ a bit backward to know the chain of events here.
2/ The Senate initially greenlighted the crypto regulation bill in December 2021 🗓 & it moved to the President's desk for his signature. ✍️

The aim was to create a #crypto regulatory framework in the country. 🇵🇾
3/ However, President Benitez vetoed it. Why? 🤔 

He cited #crypto mining’s high energy consumption ⚡ & its probable impact on the sustainable growth of the country's industrial capacity. 🏭

1/ Hong Kong 🇭🇰 has some of the world's strictest AML/CFT laws as far as the traditional financial industry is concerned.

Being one of the most important financial centers globally, it makes sense.

Now 👉 introducing crypto AML/CFT laws.

Will it change the crypto biz in HK?
2/ Hong Kong's legislative council has added crypto to its AML/CFT bill 📜

It includes the #TravelRule as well as the general #crypto AML/CFT updates.

A new licensing regime will come into force on 1st June next year 🗓️
3/ Under the newly amended AML/CFT law, VASPs will be subjected to the same stringent standards that apply to traditional financial firms in HK.

How that affects the user experience and privacy?

1/ With 2022 almost at its end, now is a good time to know about crypto regulations worldwide, starting with Asia.

And it goes without saying Asia is a major player in the global #crypto market 🌏

After all, Asia accounts for 43% of global crypto activity. 📈
2/ However, the regulatory landscape for #crypto in Asia is complex and varied, with different approaches taken by different countries. 

For example, Japan 🇯🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷 have heavily regulated the crypto industry and even legally recognize them.
3/ In contrast, some other countries in the region, such as China 🇨🇳 & Bangladesh 🇧🇩, have taken a stricter stance, banning cryptocurrencies altogether. 

India 🇮🇳, on the other hand, has adopted a “Wait & Watch” approach.
