VASP screening refers to the process by which Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) conduct due diligence on their customers and other VASPs they interact with. This involves verifying identities, assessing risk profiles, and checking against sanctions lists to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations. The objective is to prevent illicit financial activities within the digital asset ecosystem. It ensures regulatory adherence.
Context
VASP screening is a foundational element of regulatory compliance for digital asset businesses globally, driven by international standards from bodies like the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Discussions often address the technical complexities of implementing robust screening across diverse blockchain networks and the need for interoperable solutions among VASPs. The ongoing development of sophisticated screening tools is critical for mitigating financial crime risks and fostering a secure digital asset environment.
