VASP & Crypto AML Compliance Solutions
Compliance Solutions for Crypto & VASPs

Anqa provides a cost-effective, AI-driven compliance solution tailored for crypto institutions in emerging markets — ensuring AML/KYC compliance aligned with local regulations, fraud prevention, and seamless digital onboarding without heavy operational overhead.
Key Challenges for Crypto Platforms
Rising Crypto-Related Fraud
$14B in illicit crypto transactions recorded in 2023, a 25% increase from previous years — with cross-border money laundering a major risk vector.
Stricter AML & KYC Regulations
Regulators worldwide, including FATF, FinCEN, and the EU, are enforcing tougher compliance measures on VASPs — with emerging market regulators following suit.
High-Risk Transactions
Over 40% of illicit crypto transactions involve cross-border money laundering activities — requiring multi-hop blockchain tracing capabilities.
Customer Drop-offs in Onboarding
30% of crypto users abandon platforms due to slow or complex verification processes — costing exchanges customers before they even start trading.
DeFi & Anonymity Risks
Decentralised finance platforms and privacy coins pose major AML compliance challenges — creating blind spots traditional monitoring tools can't address.
