🇪🇺 About the Travel Rule (European Regulation)

Since December 30, 2024, a new European regulation — the TFR (Transfer of Funds Regulation) — requires all crypto service providers, including StackinSat, to apply the Travel Rule.

📌 What is the Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule is a European regulation that obliges crypto platforms to collect and transmit information about the sender and recipient during any crypto-asset transfer (purchase, withdrawal, deposit, internal or external transfer).

This information may include:

• Full name
• Address or a unique identifier
• Destination wallet address
• Proof of ownership for personal wallets (if required)

These checks are designed to prevent money laundering and fraud, just like those already applied to traditional bank transfers.

📌 Why is StackinSat asking you for this?

Because it is a legal obligation under European law, applicable to all platforms operating in the EU.

We have no discretion on the matter: in order to remain compliant with MiCA and TFR, we are legally required to implement the Travel Rule.

📌 What this means for you

When performing a withdrawal or a deposit, you may be asked to:

• Indicate the identity of the sender or recipient
• Prove that you own the external wallet
• Provide additional information, depending on the amount or nature of the transaction

📌 What StackinSat does not do

• We do not collect this information by choice — it is a regulatory requirement.
• We only share your data with the relevant counterparties involved in the transaction, in full compliance with applicable laws.

📌 Summary

• The Travel Rule is a European law, not a StackinSat policy
• It requires more detailed information to secure crypto transfers
• It applies to all European platforms as of late 2024
• StackinSat enforces this regulation to ensure security, transparency, and compliance
