“Both of our companies are committed to building solutions that not only meet regulations but also uphold the core values of efficiency and security. This partnership is about more than just regulatory compliance—it’s about protecting privacy while ensuring crypto businesses can operate smoothly,” said Lex Fisun, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Ledger. 

By using open Travel Rule protocols and on-premises software, 21 Analytics enables direct, peer-to-peer data exchange. This ensures that sensitive information never leaves a VASP’s secure environment. This approach not only meets FATF recommendations and local regulatory requirements but also guarantees data protection, minimising third-party risks.

Lucas Betschart, COO and Co-Founder of 21 Analytics, added: “At 21 Analytics, we believe that compliance should not compromise decentralisation or security. This partnership strengthens our mission to deliver the safest Travel Rule solution while providing an excellent user experience for VASPs and their customers.”
