Program Overview: What is Crypto-Asset and Digital Asset Compliance (MiCA, FATF Travel Rule)?
Crypto-Asset & Digital Asset Compliance (MiCA, FATF Travel Rule) is a 29-hour instructor-led program for compliance, legal, and risk teams that operate where crypto meets regulation. Across seven modules, participants work through the crypto asset and global regulatory map, MiCA rules on tokens, CASPs and authorization, MiCA conduct requirements on disclosure and integrity, the FATF Travel Rule with VASP data exchange, AML monitoring and SAR reporting, and stablecoins with cross-border rules. It closes with a capstone crypto compliance audit of a sample CASP.
Training pairs live instruction with guided labs: five practice sessions alternate with instructor walkthroughs, so participants map regulatory obligations to real business models, design Travel Rule data exchange workflows, run AML monitoring scenarios, and draft SAR-quality reporting. Each lab adapts to the team's experience level and jurisdictions, with the instructor reviewing compliance logic, challenging weak controls, and coaching the documentation standard regulators expect. Peer review sharpens every analysis before it is finalized. The program culminates in a five-hour capstone where teams conduct an end-to-end compliance audit of a sample CASP.
Crypto businesses that treat compliance as an afterthought inherit existential risk: MiCA authorization delays, Travel Rule failures flagged by counterparties, AML monitoring that misses what examiners find, and enforcement actions that arrive before the controls do. Regulations are tightening on every front at once, and firms built without compliance cannot retrofit it under examination pressure. This program builds compliance as an operating capability: mapped obligations, working Travel Rule exchange, disciplined AML monitoring, and reporting that survives scrutiny.
The capstone compliance audit is the program's examination: each team audits a sample CASP end to end, testing MiCA authorization readiness, Travel Rule data exchange, AML monitoring, and SAR reporting quality, then faces a mock regulatory examination with instructor review and feedback. The instructor examines the way a real supervisor would, so gaps surface in the classroom instead of during authorization. Teams return with audit checklists, Travel Rule workflow templates, and a compliance posture they can defend to their board and their regulator.
Beyond the core modules, the capstone runs your team through an end-to-end compliance audit of a sample CASP, ending in a mock regulatory examination with instructor review and feedback.
The program is delivered in a hybrid format, mixing live instruction with guided labs, and adapts to your team's experience level and jurisdictions.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Crypto-asset compliance is hard to apply without knowing how tokens, stablecoins and digital assets work, so the path starts there. This course covers MiCA and the FATF Travel Rule. It then leads into crypto-specific AML controls and finally into the custody and key management that regulators examine closely.

Edstellar guides compliance teams through crypto-asset classification, conduct review, data exchange, and monitoring cases.

Plan
We establish regulatory mapping before MiCA classification and conduct, then Travel Rule exchanges, AML cases, and cross-border models within the compliance audit.
- Step 03
Align
We align digital-asset compliance facilitation with legal, product, and risk roles, adjusting foundations and sandbox exercises to the cohort's jurisdictions and experience.
