CASPs operating under existing frameworks (like AMLD or other AML/CFT regimes) must adhere to all applicable compliance requirements – including the Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, also known as the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR). 🧠 Want to dive deeper?

🚨 Myth Busted: No Grandfathering Clause for the EU Travel Rule Are you assuming MiCAR’s transitional provisions give CASPs a free pass to delay compliance with the EU Travel Rule? Think again. The so-called “grandfathering clause” under MiCAR only provides a limited operational window—it does not exempt CASPs from adhering to AML/CFT requirements, including the Transfer of Funds Regulation. In short: 🔑 CASPs must comply with the Travel Rule during the transitional period. ⚠️ Non-compliance could lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational risks. 💡 Proactive compliance is critical to thriving under the new regime. Check out the LinkedIn article below to learn why now is the time to act. 👉 How is your organization preparing for these changes?
