Coinbase x 21 Analytics After Hours Event at the Crypto Valley Conference

After taking the stage and announcing 21 Analytics’ built-in support for TRUST, at the 2026 Crypto Valley Conference, 21 Analytics and Coinbase hosted an exclusive after-hours event in Zug, Switzerland. 

The event brought together compliance leaders, exchanges, institutions, and industry professionals to discuss the future of global interoperability for VASPs.

Throughout the evening, attendees expressed strong enthusiasm about the ability to securely reach some of the world’s largest VASPs, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini. With participants describing the integration as a major step forward for interoperability within the industry, particularly as Travel Rule requirements continue to evolve globally.

Additionally, many compliance professionals noted the value of TRUST’s onboarding standards, recognising that the additional screening processes complement their existing due diligence and compliance frameworks.

Lucas Betschart, COO of 21 Analytics commented: “By combining TRUST’s interoperability network with 21 Analytics’ privacy-focused on-premises infrastructure, institutions benefit from secure, compliant, and scalable transaction capabilities across the digital asset ecosystem.”

With Coinbase's Financial Crimes Compliance Senior Manager, Laura Hildebrandt, echoing these sentiments, discussions throughout the evening reinforced the industry’s growing demand for interoperability, trusted counterparties, and scalable compliance infrastructure.

The TRUST integration represents an important advancement for compliant digital asset transactions, enabling VASPs to process transactions more efficiently while remaining aligned with global Travel Rule obligations.
