The CCCO – Custom Certification for Crypto Compliance Officers is designed for compliance leaders, regulators, fintech executives, auditors, and legal advisors working in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. As regulators tighten oversight of crypto markets and virtual asset service providers (VASPs), compliance officers must be equipped with deep expertise in both traditional financial crime prevention and blockchain-specific challenges.
This program blends regulatory theory with hands-on practice to create a comprehensive training experience. Key areas of learning include:

Global Regulatory Landscape: FATF Travel Rule, MiCA (EU), SEC/FinCEN guidance, and other regional frameworks.
AML/CFT in Digital Assets: customer due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), suspicious transaction monitoring, and SAR/STR filing.
KYC for VASPs: digital identity verification, beneficial ownership, and cross-border onboarding challenges.
Blockchain Analytics & RegTech: tracing transactions, identifying red flags, and leveraging investigative tools.
Sanctions & Fraud Compliance: detecting sanctioned wallet addresses, typologies of fraud, and cybercrime.
Risk Management: building risk-based compliance frameworks tailored for VASPs and crypto markets.
Governance & Ethics: balancing innovation, privacy, and compliance in decentralized ecosystems.
Participants will engage in case studies, simulations, and practical assignments, applying blockchain forensic tools and regulatory frameworks to real-world compliance scenarios.
Upon successful completion, graduates will earn the designation Certified Crypto Compliance Officer (CCCO), demonstrating their capability to lead crypto compliance functions, engage confidently with regulators, and protect organizations from evolving financial crime threats.
