The Crypto Travel Rule is a regulatory requirement mandating virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to collect and transmit specific information about senders and recipients for transactions exceeding a certain threshold. It aims to extend anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing standards to digital asset transfers. This rule mirrors existing regulations in traditional finance.
