While it’s great for the corporations and their shareholders, it comes at a cost for average users and professional content creators.

#TRUST #TravelRule
Launched in February 2022, Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology (TRUST) is designed to comply with ‘Travel Rule’ while protecting the security and privacy of the users on Coinbase. Travel Rule is a US law under FinCEN, written before crypto even existed, that requires financial institutions and companies to share certain information about a customer if they are sending money above a threshold.
In short, TRUST is a platform that allows cryptocurrency exchanges to securely send the information required by travel rules. It is called TRUST because this is what customers want to instil when using the products and services.
How is TRUST important?
TRUST helps to achieve top-tier compliance with the Travel Rule, while fully honoring customers’ expectations over the right to use their data.
To date, TRUST provides the following safeguards:
- Decentralized the data storage
TRUST will not store customer information in any forms, information is sent directly from one TRUST member to another through an end-to-end encrypted channel. - Proof of Ownership
To ensure that the information is sent to the right exchange, TRUST has a mechanism for the receiving exchange to verify their identity before customer information is sent. - Security and privacy standards
All TRUST members have to meet the core anti-money laundering (AML), security and privacy requirements before joining the solution.
Coinbase is on its track to regaining the community’s trust
Coinbase is an American publicly traded company that operates a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Its compliance solutions and partnerships have been in the spotlight for several months. Some from the crypto community expressed concerns about the cryptocurrency trading platform when the US and international watchdogs crack down harder on the crypto industry.
Now, with Paypal’s partnership with TRUST, the payment giant might be able to bring optimism to the community. It is joining the Amber Group, Anchorage Digital, Binance.US, bitFlyer, BitGo, Bittrex, BlockFi, BlocPal, Circle, Crypto.com, Robinhood, Tetra Trust, Voyager, Kraken, Gemini, Consmart, Netcoins, Nexo, Paxos, and other members that comprised a total of 38, expanding the landscape of the compliance scheme.
