About This Webinar
At the end of June 2022, HM Treasury issued a final AML/CFT consultation response and provided an update on how the financial regulator has decided to approach the cryptocurrency travel rule which mandates that crypto businesses are required to share the names of both transaction senders and receivers.

The final report states that the UK government does not believe unhosted wallet transactions should be automatically viewed as higher risk and are used for legitimate purposes explaining that, "instead of requiring the collection of beneficiary and originator information for all unhosted wallet transfers, crypto businesses will only be expected to collect this information for transactions identified as posing an elevated risk of illicit finance."

Unhosted wallets are only one of the many areas discussed in this final consultation.

On July 7, join TRM Talks for a discussion with James Gillespie, Policy Advisor, Sanctions & Illicit Finance at HM Treasury and Ian Taylor, Executive Director at CryptoUK, to discuss the recent report and the UK’s regulatory approach to digital assets.
