Circle Internet Financial has introduced the Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology (TRUST), a platform aimed at ensuring compliance with the Travel Rule while safeguarding customer security and privacy. TRUST facilitates the secure exchange of legally required information between cryptocurrency exchanges without storing sensitive data centrally, thus minimizing potential misuse. The system includes mechanisms like proof of address ownership and requires members to adhere to stringent security and privacy standards. The initiative, developed by leading crypto exchanges, seeks to become an industry standard for Travel Rule compliance and plans to expand internationally to cover a more extensive range of jurisdictions, emphasizing that compliance can coexist with robust privacy protection.
