Our team was engaged to establish a robust compliance framework enabling sustainable growth and regulatory engagement.

Over six months from April to September 2025, we conducted detailed compliance assessments, developed institutional-grade policies, and implemented advanced monitoring controls. By the end of our collaboration, verse.works achieved significant regulatory maturity.

This is what verse.works got:

  • Regulatory Readiness for FCA Application

Art Technologies Ltd is now positioned for future FCA regulatory engagement with comprehensive documentation, governance structures, and compliance frameworks aligned with emerging Regulated Activities Order (RAO) 2025 requirements for cryptoassets.

  • Advanced Monitoring Infrastructure

Integration of certified blockchain analytics and transaction monitoring systems enables real-time risk assessment. Initial wallet risk scoring: <3% medium-risk wallets identified, zero critical-risk activities.

  • Institutional AML & Risk Management Policy

Comprehensive policy addressing all regulatory gaps: Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) procedures, transaction monitoring with SAR protocols, explicit risk classification, cryptoasset-specific controls, third-party oversight, and governance frameworks aligned with Money Laundering Regulations 2017, POCA 2002, and Terrorism Act 2000.

  • Strategic Payment Processing Framework

Addressed Stripe restrictions through comprehensive compliance assessment. Connected verse.works with specialized digital asset payment infrastructure partners to ensure sustainable payment processing options supporting both primary and secondary NFT marketplace activities.

Our company really enjoyed working with Advix on refining our AML Policy and understanding all the necessary controls. Alex was extremely helpful, always providing valuable advice and guiding our policy and risk management in the right direction. He also connected us with the best partners to make our compliance efforts work in practice. In addition, Advix supported us in preparing detailed technical specifications for our developers. Overall, Advix (and Alex in particular) offered deep and comprehensive support in the web3 regulatory sphere, assisting us at every step. We would definitely recommend them; working with Advix has been a real pleasure.
