CODE is celebrating its third anniversary as a global leader in the Travel Rule space. CODEโ€™s continued growth is due to the close trust and cooperation of our members. Our members are not just customers, but true partners, who have always been there for the healthy development of the blockchain and digital assets industry. Our members are trusted operators who have passed a rigorous Due Diligence process, and we thank them for leading the way in Travel Rule compliance and setting an example for other businesses.

Check out some of the ways CODE has grown over the years:

๐ŸŒ Global Leadership

CODE is committed to global compliance, and together with our members, we are leading the way in adhering to Travel Rule. Our vetted members are building global credibility and delivering outstanding business results in their respective markets.

๐Ÿ” Thorough Due Diligence

CODE conducts thorough Due Diligence* on its members to verify their ability to comply with such regulations. This process enables members to achieve higher levels of compliance based on mutual trust and is recognized in the global marketplace.

*CODE conducts Due Diligence on VASPs by referencing the @GDF VADDQ (Global Digital Finance Virtual Asset Due Diligence Questionnaire). The @GDF VADDQ is based on the Wolfsberg Groupโ€™s Correspondent Banking Due Diligence Questionnaire (CBDDQ), and only VASPs that have been validated against the @GDF VADDQ criteria are allowed to join CODEโ€™s Travel Rule Alliance. (GDF Virtual Asset Due Diligence Questionnaire)

๐Ÿš€ Accelerated Compliance and Partnering

CODEโ€™s verification process gives members a key advantage in mutual due diligence, fostering collaboration with each other. This supports both business growth and streamlined regulatory compliance.

๐Ÿ“Š Member-Specific Services

CODE provides customized services to its members, helping them to manage their Travel Rule data and metrics. We also connect with partners in various industries to provide a convenient and well-connected environment for AML/CFT compliance, enhancing their regulatory management and business competitiveness.

CODE will continue to support the healthy growth of the blockchain and digital assets industry through Travel Rule compliance, and will do our best to help our members learn, communicate, and develop themselves so that they can continue to thrive in our dynamic industry.

We are always grateful for your support and encouragement. We hope we can further grow together with our members.
