Highlights:

Switzerland, United States - 28/05/2026 - 

Today, two industry leaders join forces as TRUST, the premier Travel Rule network founded by Coinbase, BitGo, Gemini, and others, partners with the leading Travel Rule solution provider 21 Analytics to deliver seamless global connectivity.

The Travel Rule, a global regulatory requirement, obligates financial institutions to send customer details to the receiving institution for transfers meeting certain criteria.

Connecting to the TRUST network is now simplified through 21 Analytics. VASPs utilizing the 21 Analytics platform can gain instant connectivity to the TRUST network, delivering global coverage across the world’s leading crypto exchanges, without the need for in-house development. 

“Our partnership with 21 Analytics streamlines integration for TRUST members and is rooted in a shared commitment to data protection. This collaboration ensures TRUST remains decentralized and secure, upholding its rigorous privacy standards while offering broader end-to-end compliance features,” said Laura Hildebrandt, Senior Manager, AML Advisory & TRUST at Coinbase.

The fragmented landscape of Travel Rule solutions is one of the biggest hurdles for crypto firms. In practice, it increases costs and complexity to connect to multiple providers. 

The collaboration effectively removes this barrier by launching an interoperable, highly adopted solution that needs no development and offers reliable technical support.

“Partnership is key to Travel Rule compliance,” added Lucas Betschart, COO at 21 Analytics. “Joining forces with TRUST is a milestone as we make it effortless for VASPs to connect with their most frequent counterparties.”
