Compliance in Digital Asset Operations

Compliance should gate every material action — not live in a separate spreadsheet.

Key Principles

• Operational compliance primitives: Embedded in payment and tokenization workflows.
• Connect: Identity and screening into digital-asset operations.
• Define: Approval thresholds, transfer restrictions, and operational controls.
• Route: Transactions and lifecycle events through governed approval paths.
• Maintain: Evidence packets for internal review and external audit requirements.

Compliance Gates

• Metrics: Compliance gates sit at the points where risk actually materializes.
  • KYC and eligibility before account or investor activation.
  • Policy checks and approvals before movement or transfer.
  • Screening and exception handling tied to operational decisions.
  • Export audit-ready evidence for finance and compliance teams.

Design Considerations

• Design: The control layer before transaction volume makes change expensive.
