On November 20, 2025, Matrixport’s Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Regulatory, Christopher Liu, spoke at What the Fraud Summit 2025 on “APAC’s Compliance Vision for 2026.” He outlined the major shifts expected across the region’s regulatory landscape, including the rapid rollout of more real-time compliance frameworks, heightened transparency and risk-management expectations for crypto firms and VASPs, and the growing integration of AI into AML and supervisory processes. He noted that APAC markets are moving decisively from reactive, retroactive compliance review toward more proactive and intelligent regulatory models—an evolution that will shape how virtual asset service providers manage governance, oversight, and cross-border operations.
Christopher stressed that robust compliance capabilities are becoming a defining competitive advantage for virtual asset institutions. With regulatory priorities in APAC gaining clarity, Matrixport will continue to reinforce its technology stack and compliance systems, proactively align with emerging requirements, and support the development of a more transparent and resilient digital asset ecosystem.
