Notabene – Weekly Recap

Notabene featured prominently this week as it underscored rising compliance risks around stablecoins and expanded its regulatory outreach across multiple regions. The company highlighted a Financial Action Task Force report indicating that stablecoins now account for roughly 84% of illicit virtual asset transaction volume, displacing Bitcoin as the primary medium for such activity.

Notabene’s commentary argued that the same attributes making stablecoins attractive for payments, including speed, global reach, and price stability, are straining legacy compliance processes. This evolving risk landscape is expected to draw heightened attention from regulators and financial institutions, potentially driving demand for Travel Rule and anti-money-laundering infrastructure.

The firm continued to position itself as a thought leader through analysis of the FATF findings and promotion of external expert commentary. This strategy aims to reinforce Notabene’s role as a “trust layer” for compliant digital asset payments, particularly as stablecoins become more central to trading, liquidity, and cross-border flows.

Regionally, Notabene is deepening engagement in Latin America with a visible presence at the Merge São Paulo conference, where it will host Booth 15 and participate in main-stage discussions on crypto regulation and payments. Director of Regulatory & Compliance Catarina Veloso is slated to speak on panels covering Brazil’s evolving framework and differences between European and Brazilian rules.

These activities align Notabene with regulators, exchanges, and legal experts at a time when Brazil’s digital asset market is maturing under clearer oversight. Strengthened visibility and relationships in such growth markets could support business development, product localization, and wider adoption of its compliance solutions.

Collectively, the week’s developments highlight Notabene’s strategy of combining regulatory insight, market education, and event-driven engagement to support future demand for its crypto compliance infrastructure, as stablecoins and digital asset payments continue to move into the financial mainstream.
