This report is a third targeted update on global implementation of the FATF’s
Standards on VAs and VASPs. In particular, this report is more targeted than the
previous reviews as it focuses on implementation of FATF’s Travel Rule. This report
focuses on FATF’s Travel Rule as it is an important requirement to enable VASPs to
implement their targeted financial sanction and transaction monitoring
requirements, and previous FATF analysis shows that implementation of this
requirement has been particularly lagging. In addition, this report also provides a
brief update on key themes that have emerged from FATF’s recent consultations with
industry and ongoing monitoring, including on Decentralised Finance (DeFi), NonFungible Tokens (NFTs), unhosted wallets, sanctions evasion, and ransomware.
