Lysis conducted a review of the firm's AML Governance and Compliance capabilities and then authored changes to the framework and policy and procedure documents in order to ensure they met the new requirements and were fit for purpose for the evolving business model. We then worked with the firm to embed the new processes and controls including setting up a new European Risk Committee and defining its membership and terms of reference.

An international institutional digital assets firm offering stablecoin-based cross-border brokerage services engaged Lysis Advisory to support its UK FCA registration under the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs). The firm operates a multi-jurisdictional, technology-driven brokerage model providing access to deep cryptoasset liquidity for corporate and professional clients. Lysis was selected due to its strong track record of successful FCA applications and its ability to deliver a tailored regulatory framework aligned with current FCA expectations and adaptable to the upcoming FSMA-style regime.
