Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Counterparty Risk Assessment Reports
We offer enhanced due diligence reports to assess the risk associated with Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). These reports empower stakeholders—financial institutions, payment processors, regulators, and other intermediaries—to make informed decisions about their engagements in the crypto space.
Our counterparty risk assessments cover a broad range of factors, including:
– Know Your Customer (KYC): Analyzing VASPs’ KYC procedures for compliance robustness.
– Geography and Domicile: Evaluating jurisdictional risks and the regulatory environment of VASPs.
– Corporate Structure: Investigating known associated entities and organizational transparency.
– Licensing Status: Confirming proper regulatory licensing and adherence to local laws.
– Product Offerings: Assessing support for fiat, stablecoins, privacy-enhancing cryptocurrencies and other supported products and services.
– High-Risk Counterparty Volume: Quantifying exposure to potentially suspicious entities.
– Regulatory Enforcement Actions: Identifying past sanctions or regulatory interventions.
– Cybersecurity Posture: Reviewing the strength of data protection and security measures.
– Financial Health: Benchmarking financial performance and viability against peers.
By integrating open-source intelligence and proprietary blockchain analytics and third-party risk mitigating tools, these reports help stakeholders align their operations with their risk tolerance, mitigate regulatory exposure, and demonstrate due diligence to supervisory authorities.
