DTR × Sumsub: Scaling Digital Asset Infrastructure with Unified Compliance

DTR is a digital asset infrastructure provider supporting institutions with compliant access to stablecoins, crypto, and blockchain-based financial services. The company focuses on building secure, scalable, and regulation-ready infrastructure that enables partners to operate across multiple jurisdictions.

DTR collaborates with institutional partners and infrastructure providers to deliver reliable financial infrastructure, including partnerships across the digital asset ecosystem such as with Bakkt.

DTR’s mission is to make blockchain-based financial services secure, compliant, and accessible for institutions globally, enabling partners to innovate without compromising on regulatory standards.

The Challenge

Before partnering with Sumsub, DTR worked with multiple vendors to manage various compliance requirements. While this approach covered key needs, it introduced complexity at both the technical and operational levels.

Managing several compliance providers meant dealing with multiple integrations, APIs, and workflows. This increased operational overhead and made it harder to maintain consistency across regions and products. As a result, compliance processes varied across markets and use cases, limiting scalability.

As DTR expanded its infrastructure globally and operated in regulated markets such as Europe and the United States, these limitations became more pronounced. It became clear that the company needed a single, scalable verification platform that could support global compliance while maintaining fast onboarding and a seamless user experience.

Why Sumsub

To simplify its compliance infrastructure, DTR selected Sumsub as a unified verification and compliance platform. Several factors made it the right fit:

• One platform for multiple compliance needs, including KYC, KYB, and Travel Rule compliance
• Global coverage to support consistent compliance processes across multiple jurisdictions
• Flexible, API-driven integration that fit well with DTR’s existing infrastructure
• Fast automated verification, helping maintain onboarding speed without compromising compliance

Technically, Sumsub stands out as the most flexible and complete solution on the market. It is modern, fast, and dependable. As we build in the world of agentic payments and commerce, the reliable identification of real humans is not just a feature - it is a core compliance and risk pillar of our business.

For DTR, the value lies not only in the individual features but also in the ability to manage core compliance functions within a single, scalable setup.

The Solution

DTR implemented several key modules from Sumsub’s platform to build a unified verification and compliance framework across its digital asset infrastructure.

1. KYC (User Verification). Sumsub’s KYC solution supports automated identity verification across multiple jurisdictions through document verification, liveness checks, and AML screening.
2. KYB (Business Verification). For institutional onboarding, Sumsub’s KYB capabilities provide business verification and ownership check, helping DTR verify corporate partners more efficiently.
3. Travel Rule. Sumsub’s Travel Rule solution helps DTR exchange the required transaction information between entities in line with digital asset regulations.
4. Reusable KYC. Reusable KYC lets previously verified users reuse their verification profiles across services, reducing friction and speeding up onboarding for returning users.

By consolidating these capabilities into a single platform, DTR reduced the complexity of managing multiple providers and created a more consistent compliance setup across products and markets.

DTR operates in a highly regulated and technically demanding part of the digital asset ecosystem, where compliance and performance both matter. By integrating Sumsub’s verification and compliance tools through a single platform, they were able to streamline their infrastructure and support fast, secure onboarding across multiple markets.

The Results

Since implementing Sumsub’s platform, DTR has improved both onboarding speed and operational efficiency across its digital asset infrastructure and partner-facing services.

Key outcomes include:

• KYC verification in under 10 seconds across major markets, including the US and EU, helping deliver a faster onboarding experience for end users and partners
• Lower operational complexity by consolidating multiple capabilities into one platform
• Better scalability for global digital asset infrastructure without the need to build additional verification integrations for each new setup
• More consistent onboarding processes across jurisdictions while still meeting local regulatory requirements

By moving to a single compliance platform, DTR has been able to streamline verification not only within its own operations, but also across the broader partner ecosystem it supports. This has made it easier to scale services, maintain consistency, and support its mission to build trusted infrastructure for digital finance.
