interVASP Standards Working Group

Initially released in 2020 by the Joint Working Group (JWG) on interVASP Messaging Standards, IVMS 101 is the universal common language for communication of required originator and beneficiary information between VASPs used by all leading Travel Rule solution providers. In April 2023, GBBC Digital Finance (GDF), OpenVASP and VASPnet joined forces to maintain and further develop the existing IVMS 101 standard to create greater consistency and integrity within the crypto ecosystem. A new interVASP Standards Working Group (ISWG) has been formed as an open Independent Working Group Node, under the auspices of GDF’s Open Standards Council. Andrew Davidson of OpenVASP and Neil Samtani of VASPnet are co-chairing the standards development. Members of the crypto and digital asset community with relevant technical expertise are invited to join the working group without being members of GDF. Regulators are invited to observe the working group.
