Virtual Asset Service Provider
The terms “Virtual asset” and “Virtual asset service provider” originate from the Financial Action Task Force (the “FATF”) “Recommendation 15 – New Technologies” (the “FATF Recommendation 15”) annexed to the FATF Guidance on Virtual assets and VASP (the “FATF Guidance”). These documents were published for the first time back in 2015 and were subsequently modified in 2019 and 2021.
