Travel Rule
Obligation to transmit originator and beneficiary information alongside a digital asset transfer.
The rule transposes to digital assets a requirement long established for bank transfers: identification data must travel with the funds between regulated providers.
Practical consequence for a user: a withdrawal to a self-hosted wallet may prompt a request for proof of control of the address, for example signing a message with the matching key. That is not an individual suspicion but the rule being applied.
