Launching a stablecoin with regulator-ready compliance

Problem:

A fast-growing crypto payments company was preparing to launch a new stablecoin product. Their tech infrastructure was ready –now they needed a compliance program to fully address the new regulatory and operational risks introduced by the stablecoin.

Solution:

Canaria partnered with the client to design and implement a tailored compliance upgrade focused specifically on stablecoin-related risks. The deliverables included:

• •A comprehensive enterprise-wide risk assessment
• •Updates to compliance policies, procedures, and internal controls
• •Development of new transaction monitoring rules and risk scenarios
• •Implementation of a smart contract sanctions screening system
• •Revised training materials to include stablecoin-specific compliance education

Canaria combined regulatory expertise with a deep understanding of crypto-native technologies to ensure alignment with both global expectations and the client's roadmap.

Results:

The client launched its stablecoin product with a fit-for-purpose compliance framework that satisfied both internal stakeholders and external regulators. The new risk-based controls enabled proactive monitoring, reduced the risk of enforcement action, and established the company's credibility with financial partners. Internal teams also benefited from clearer procedures and training, enabling them to scale confidently as the stablecoin gained adoption.
