The MSB approval reinforces Ctoph Exchange’s global compliance roadmap and strengthens its expansion into regulated digital asset markets.
United States, 26th Nov 2025 – Ctoph Exchange, an emerging global digital asset trading platform, announced today that it has officially obtained a Money Services Business (MSB) license issued by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This milestone marks a significant advancement in the company’s global compliance roadmap and establishes a solid foundation for its continued expansion into the North American digital asset market.
A Major Step Toward Institutional-Grade Compliance
The MSB license represents a core regulatory requirement for operating cryptocurrency-related services in the United States.
Ctoph Exchange’s successful approval affirms that its platform architecture, risk control framework, and operational safeguards meet stringent U.S. regulatory standards. The approval also underscores the company’s capabilities in data governance, identity management, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, and Customer Due Diligence (CDD).
During the preparation phase, Ctoph Exchange implemented a series of advanced compliance upgrades, including:
ZK-KYC (Zero-Knowledge Identity Verification) modules
Cross-chain data isolation frameworks
Multi-dimensional audit and regulatory disclosure interfaces
These enhancements provided a strong technical foundation for the platform to meet and exceed FinCEN’s expectations.
“Gaining the MSB license is a crucial milestone for our global compliance architecture,” said Daniel Marshall, Head of Global Market Development at Ctoph Exchange. “It demonstrates that our technological and governance standards meet the highest levels of regulatory scrutiny, and it reinforces our commitment to building a secure, transparent, and institution-ready digital asset ecosystem.”
Compliance-as-a-Service Strategy Strengthens Global Adaptability
Ctoph Exchange adopts a Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) architectural approach, giving the platform and its ecosystem partners the flexibility to adapt to diverse regulatory environments worldwide.
Through a three-layer model covering identity, transaction, and data domains, the platform can dynamically adjust:
User permissions
Transaction scopes
Data residency and storage requirements
This modular compliance capability allows Ctoph Exchange to balance regulatory efficiency with user privacy protection, ensuring scalable operation across multiple jurisdictions.
Strengthening Trust in the Era of Regulatory Maturity
As regulators worldwide tighten oversight of digital asset service providers, obtaining the MSB license signifies that Ctoph Exchange now fully aligns with U.S. standards for AML, transactional transparency, and operational integrity.
The achievement not only enhances the platform’s legal and operational security but also positions it as a trustworthy partner for institutional investors and traditional financial institutions.
“As the digital asset sector moves toward institutionalization, compliance capability will define the next generation of global exchanges,” Marshall added. “Securing the MSB license reinforces our vision of advancing ‘trusted liquidity’ and contributing to the foundation of a transparent and secure global digital asset market.”
