On-Chain and Off-Chain: Closing the Stablecoin Compliance Gap

Stablecoins have moved from crypto-native infrastructure to a mainstream payments rail, and compliance programs are playing catch up. In the year since the GENIUS Act passed, the space has evolved fast, and so have the ways bad actors exploit it. This session unpacks real-world cases of stablecoins used in money laundering and sanctions evasion, the typologies compliance leaders need to watch, and what it takes to build a defensible compliance program from the ground up.

  • Ideation to implementation: building compliance into stablecoin strategy from day one

  • On-chain vs. off-chain and where screening and monitoring needs differ

  • Real-world stablecoin use in money laundering and sanctions evasion

  • On-ramp and off-ramp compliance: managing risk at fiat-to-crypto conversion points

  • Key obligations under the GENIUS Act and legislation still to watch
