MiCA and the Travel Rule: What We Need to Know

The Center of Excellence in Anti-Money Laundering (AML Center) is hosting an ad hoc online training session titled “MiCA and the Travel Rule: What We Need to Know.” This session aims to provide crucial insights into the requirements of the travel rule, which seeks to enhance transparency and mitigate the risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. However, implementing this provision poses challenges due to the inherently anonymous and pseudo-anonymous nature of crypto assets, as well as issues related to interoperability and data protection. Experts will address key questions and offer valuable insights on this vital topic.

During the training session, AML Center’s expert Greta Barkauskienė and Dr. Nina-Luisa Siedler from Siedler Legal will discuss the purpose and origins of the travel rule. They will also address the challenges related to interoperability, as well as privacy and data protection issues.

An expert from XReg Consulting will provide valuable insights to participants on how CASPs across the EU are implementing the Travel Rule in practice, their challenges, and the technological solutions adopted to ensure compliance.

This training will be recorded and published on our website.

Target Audience:  AML/CTF professionals of Lithuanian financial and law enforcement institutions.

Language: The online training will be conducted in English.

Date:  7 May 2025

Time: 09:00 AM – 11:30 PM (Vilnius time)
