Certificate in Digital Assets, RegTech & Innovation

“Build the tech stack supervisors trust.”

Overview

This Certificate examines RegTech, VASP/CASP and Travel Rule controls, and hands-on blockchain analytics — with the documentation supervisors expect.

The crypto-asset business is now mainstream, and utilising specialised RegTech solutions is how compliance teams keep pace with it. This Certificate gets you hands-on with the tools, controls and vendor decisions firms are actually buying and building — so you can speak to it in an interview, not just on a CV.

It is self-paced:

  • 4 digital lessons (30 minutes each)
  • 1 recorded trainer-led session
  • assessed by MCQ and scenario analysis — no exams

What you'll be able to do

  • Assess and select RegTech solutions — eKYC, screening, case management — against your actual requirements.
  • Apply crypto and DeFi controls for VASPs/CASPs, the Travel Rule, and higher-risk typologies.
  • Use blockchain analytics for tracing and attribution, with documentation that holds up to scrutiny.
  • Build a lightweight innovation-governance process for piloting new tools without losing supervisory confidence.

Career relevance

Positions you for Crypto/VASP Compliance Officer, RegTech & Innovation Lead, and Digital Assets Compliance roles as firms build out crypto-asset and RegTech capability.
