Blockchain technology research arm Lamda 256, of cryptocurrency exchange Upbit's operator Dunamu, has launched its VerfiyVASP solution for its exchange trading activity in Singapore.
Meanwhile, South Korea will see Dunamu's "travel rule" solution rolled out for Upbit next month, according to a report by The Korea Herald on Tuesday.
The rule, which went into effect in 2019, applies to all virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and is enforced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) an intergovernmental anti-money laundering watchdog. It requires crypto companies to share personally identifiable information for transactions above a certain amount.
VASPs within the industry such as crypto exchanges, wallet providers and financial service providers need to report on transactions above $3,000 in the U.S. and €1,000 in Europe.

On the advice of the FATF, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission introduced its own anti-money laundering safeguards on March 25.
In June, Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit engaged in a joint venture to develop a solution for the travel rule. A month later Dunamu opted out for fear of regulators anticipating the move as industry collusion, per the report.

Crypto custodian BitGo a potential acquisition target for Wall Street firms, analysts say
Compass Point and Canaccord call BitGo a potential acquisition target and defend the stock despite its weak debut, citing growth in institutional crypto infrastructure.
Lo que debes saber:
- Wall Street analysts say BitGo’s expansion into full-service institutional crypto finance could drive long-term growth and make it an attractive acquisition target for traditional financial firms.
- Analysts argue that investors are overlooking BitGo’s potential to cross-sell prime brokerage-style services, which could significantly boost revenue if it can narrow the gap with rivals like Galaxy and Coinbase.
- Despite BitGo’s stock falling more than 40% since its January IPO, some analysts view the selloff as an overreaction and maintain buy ratings, citing the company’s solid competitive moat and strategic value to big banks entering crypto.
