Crypto regulation is moving fast across the US, EU, UK, Canada, the Middle East, and Asia. Traditional AML courses stop at banking risk. C3O bridges that gap and gives you crypto-specific skills regulators and employers now expect.
Position yourself for roles in blockchain compliance, crypto AML, VASP supervision, and emerging regulatory teams.
Learn how MiCA, FATF Travel Rule, licensing expectations and VASP controls translate into day-to-day compliance work.
From Europe’s MiCA regime to Dubai’s VARA framework, C3O prepares you for markets actively hiring crypto compliance talent.
C3O is not another generic AML credential.
It is a focused qualification built for the regulatory direction of global crypto markets and on-chain financial crime.
Conventional AML frameworks were not designed for mixers, privacy coins, cross-chain bridges, DeFi protocols, NFTs, or pseudonymous wallet activity. Treating crypto like traditional banking risk leaves critical gaps in controls, investigations, and reporting.
Wallets, exchanges, OTC desks, DeFi platforms, and NFT marketplaces introduce risk channels that do not exist in conventional correspondent banking.
Effective crypto compliance requires understanding how to interpret transaction flows, clustering, tracing, and exposure to sanctioned or high-risk entities on-chain.
MiCA, FATF guidance, VARA, MAS, FinCEN and other regulators now expect crypto-specific controls, Travel Rule implementation, and VASP-focused risk assessments.
The C3O certification is designed specifically for this new environment — bridging the gap between traditional AML experience and the realities of crypto assets, exchanges, and on-chain financial crime.
