VelaFi Integrates Chainalysis to Bring Institutional-Grade Compliance to the Asia–LATAM Payments Corridor

VelaFi, a stablecoin-powered financial infrastructure platform enabling fast, compliant global money movement for businesses, today announced a strategic integration with Chainalysis, the blockchain data platform, embedding real-time transaction monitoring and wallet screening directly into VelaFi's cross-border payment infrastructure across the Asia and Latin America corridor.

The integration activates Chainalysis Transaction Screening (KYT) and Entity Risking, two complementary compliance capabilities embedded natively within VelaFi’s platform. KYT enables continuous monitoring of stablecoin transactions for suspicious activity, while Entity Risking allows VelaFi to assess the risk profile of wallet counterparties before settlement. Together, they give VelaFi end-to-end visibility into the compliance status of every payment, from initiation to settlement, strengthening the platform’s risk controls without requiring any action from clients. The integration runs across all VelaFi cross-border and stablecoin payment flows, strengthening the compliance layer behind every transaction without adding friction to the client experience.

The Asia–LATAM corridor presents a distinct set of compliance challenges: fragmented regulatory environments, limited correspondent banking relationships, and high volumes of stablecoin-denominated trade flows that fall outside the reach of traditional AML systems. Stablecoins are no longer a niche instrument. According to Chainalysis, they processed $28 trillion in real economic volume in 2025 alone. As that volume grows, purpose-built compliance infrastructure becomes essential, not optional. By embedding Chainalysis intelligence directly into its platform, VelaFi ensures that growth in the corridor comes with the compliance foundation it requires.

"This corridor moves billions in trade every year through some of the most complex banking environments in the world," said Maggie Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of VelaFi. "Chainalysis gives us, and our clients real-time visibility into every payment flowing through our network. That's not a compliance checkbox. That's how you build a payment network institutions actually trust."

“Stablecoins are quickly reshaping the financial networks linking Latin America and Asia. Chainalysis is proud to support VelaFi as it helps this multi-billion-dollar corridor grow responsibly through effective compliance capabilities like KYT,” said Carlos Jaramillo, Regional Sales Director, Chainalysis.

The integration runs across all VelaFi cross-border and stablecoin payment flows, strengthening the compliance layer behind every transaction without adding friction to the client experience.
