Crypto platforms spent years optimizing for growth. In 2026, regulators, auditors, and users are asking harder questions. This webinar goes through what the data from our annual report shows, and what it means for teams working in compliance, risk, and product.

What we'll cover:

1. Where compliance really stands 

Only 23% of platforms report full Travel Rule compliance. We'll look at where the gaps are, where regulators are paying attention, and what full compliance requires in practice.

2. What happened to fraud 

Globally, fraud stabilized at 2.19%, but the attacks got harder to catch. Synthetic IDs, post-KYC abuse, coordinated clusters - we'll break down what changed and why the old detection playbooks are struggling.

3. Identity verification in a slower, stricter world 

Speed used to be the main goal, now accuracy matters more. We'll cover why hybrid verification is becoming standard and where reusable KYC fits in.

4. How transactions changed

Stablecoins are now operational infrastructure for a lot of platforms. Company-to-company transactions make up 44% of total volume. We'll talk about what that means for KYB and how product teams are responding.

5. What's coming 

A few predictions from our report: non-document verification, intelligent orchestration, reusable identity, and AI governance. We'll explain what each one means and how far away they are.
