Australia’s regulator AUSTRAC is set to extend oversight to virtual asset service providers from March 31, 2026, with mandatory Travel Rule compliance from July 1, 2026 and no thresholds or exemptions. The webinar targets compliance, legal, risk, and operations professionals and is designed to outline new obligations, practical preparation steps, and cross-border considerations.
By convening speakers from Crypto.com, Pepperstone, and law firm Thomson Geer, Notabene is positioning itself as a specialist partner for firms facing stricter oversight in the Asia-Pacific region. This focus suggests the company aims to support VASPs and financial institutions in managing rising compliance costs and operational complexity as enforcement deadlines approach.
In parallel, Notabene has co-authored a Brazil Virtual Asset Regulatory Playbook in partnership with law firm Veirano Advogados and industry association ABToken. The guide is linked to the Central Bank of Brazil’s new framework for virtual asset service providers, which took effect on February 2, 2026 and is described as a major milestone for that market.
The playbook translates Brazil’s regulatory text into operational guidance, covering the SPSAV framework, supervisory timelines, Travel Rule obligations, and the interaction between foreign-exchange reporting and the Travel Rule. It also outlines a roadmap for the 2026–2028 enforcement cycle, positioning Brazil as a reference point for major-economy digital asset regulation.
These initiatives collectively reinforce Notabene’s role as a compliance and Travel Rule specialist, particularly in fast-formalizing markets like Australia and Brazil. While no specific revenue or client metrics were disclosed, deeper collaboration with regulators, law firms, and industry bodies may enhance the company’s visibility and support future demand for its crypto compliance solutions.
