    Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP)

    A VASP supports virtual assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies) through exchange, transfer, custody, or management. Following Wolfsberg guidelines, banks must apply tailored CDD, monitoring, sanctions checks, and risk frameworks to VASPs due to digital asset anonymity and cross-border complexity.
