Notabene featured prominently in digital-asset compliance developments this week, underscoring its role as a key provider of Travel Rule and regulatory infrastructure for virtual asset service providers. The company highlighted a new case study with Malaysian crypto exchange Hata, described as the country’s first dual-licensed platform, which is using Notabene’s tools to support compliant growth.

Hata reportedly turned to Notabene to automate data exchange, connect efficiently with regulated counterparties, and reduce operational friction as transaction volumes scale. The case study points to reduced manual intervention, greater transaction visibility, and enhanced audit readiness, framing regulatory compliance as an enabler of trust and business expansion in Malaysia and the wider region.
Notabene also emphasized its thought-leadership push around Australia’s forthcoming crypto anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing reforms. The firm is co-hosting an on-demand webinar that details AUSTRAC’s plan to extend oversight to virtual asset service providers from March 31, 2026, with mandatory Travel Rule compliance starting July 1, 2026 and no thresholds or exemptions.
The Australian webinar features Notabene’s VP of Global Regulatory and Compliance Strategy alongside representatives from TRM Labs, Pepperstone, Crypto.com, and law firm Thomson Geer. The session is designed for compliance, legal, risk, and operations teams, outlining new obligations, practical preparation steps, and cross-border considerations as oversight tightens across the sector.
In Latin America, Notabene broadened its footprint by co-authoring a Brazil Virtual Asset Regulatory Playbook with law firm Veirano Advogados and industry association ABToken. The guide interprets the Central Bank of Brazil’s new framework for virtual asset service providers, which took effect on February 2, 2026, and is seen as a key milestone for that market’s regulatory evolution.
The Brazilian playbook translates complex rules into operational guidance, covering the SPSAV framework, supervisory timelines, Travel Rule requirements, and the interaction between foreign-exchange reporting and crypto compliance. Together with the Australia initiative and the Hata case study, these moves reinforce Notabene’s positioning as a specialized compliance partner in fast-formalizing markets and may support future demand for its digital-asset infrastructure solutions.
