KAST chooses Elliptic digital asset decisioning for global AML and sanctions compliance. SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 June 2026 - Elliptic, the global leader in digital asset decisioning, has equipped KAST, the global financial platform built on stablecoin rails, with the blockchain intelligence necessary to strengthen anti-money laundering and sanctions controls across its products and global footprint. KAST has used Elliptic's solutions since 2024 to screen wallets and monitor crypto transactions for indicators of financial crime as customers fund and use their KAST accounts. By integrating Elliptic's blockchain intelligence into its risk and compliance stack, KAST has been able to identify high-risk activity in real-time, reduce exposure to sanctioned or illicit wallets and demonstrate robust controls to regulators and partners. Founded in July 2024 by former Circle executive Raagulan Pathy, KAST provides USD-denominated accounts, global pay-ins and payouts to more than 170 countries, and a growing suite of consumer and business financial tools built on stablecoin rails rather than legacy settlement networks. With KAST, people can hold, send, and spend instantly while transacting with merchants and ATMs around the world. Since launch, KAST has scaled to more than one million users and is processing about $5 billion in annualized transaction volume, reflecting the growing adoption of stablecoin-based financial services beyond trading and crypto-native use cases. In March, KAST announced a record $80 million Series A funding round, which is being deployed to expand across North America, Latin America and the Middle East. Elliptic's analytics help KAST manage risk, applying a consistent, data-driven approach to AML and sanctions screening as the platform scales into new markets. "Every time customers tap their card, send or receive transactions, they need to trust it's safe," said Pathy, Founder & CEO at KAST. "Our users rely on us for institution-grade security everywhere in the world. Elliptic is a key part of that promise. Their blockchain intelligence helps us detect fraud patterns, sanctioned activity and other red flags behind the scenes so that our customers feel safe and secure." "As stablecoin financial platforms like KAST reach more users, regulators and partners expect the same standard of financial crime controls that apply in traditional finance," said James Smith, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Elliptic. " KAST has been building with compliance in mind from day one. Through this partnership, we are helping to ensure the platform can scale while meeting regulatory expectations for AML and sanctions risk." Elliptic's analytics now underpin KAST's financial crime controls. Working alongside the platform's identity, fraud and transaction monitoring solutions, Elliptic supports a consistent, risk-based approach to onboarding, funding and card usage as the platform scales.

Elliptic integrates with Kaia to reach 250 million users across Asia Elliptic 20 May, 2026 SINGAPORE, 20 March, 2026. Elliptic, the global leader in digital asset decisioning, today announced full blockchain coverage for Kaia, the EVM-compatible Layer-1 network purpose-built for regulated stablecoin payments and on-chain services across Asia's largest superapp ecosystems. With this integration, crypto compliance and investigation teams gain real-time and historical visibility into one of the most significant consumer blockchain networks in Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. Kaia was formed in 2024 from the merger of Klaytn (incubated by Kakao) and Finschia (incubated by LINE), bringing together two of the region's most established blockchain networks. The combined chain reaches the 250 million monthly active users of LINE and KakaoTalk through Mini Dapps embedded directly inside both messaging platforms, and has processed more than 2.3 billion transactions across its previous and current networks. "Bringing Web3 to millions of users requires uncompromising security and compliance. Partnering with a global leader like Elliptic ensures that as regulated stablecoins and on-chain services scale on Kaia, they do so with the transparency and institutional trust necessary to drive the next wave of adoption in APAC." - Paulo Caperig, Head of Partnerships at Kaia Foundation With regulated yen and won stablecoins now coming to market across the region, Kaia sits at the center of how digital asset payments are reaching mainstream consumers and businesses in APAC. What Elliptic supports Elliptic's integration loads real-time data and historical activity on Kaia into its holistic screening infrastructure. This means Elliptic customers can now: * Screen Kaia wallet addresses and transactions in real time against sanctions lists and illicit activity exposures * Investigate fund flows on Kaia and trace movements cross-chain between Kaia and the other blockchains Elliptic covers * Monitor regulated stablecoin activity on Kaia as new fiat-pegged tokens deploy on the network * Access entity-level intelligence on VASPs and counterparties active on Kaia * Maintain consistent compliance standards across existing Elliptic workflows The integration also matches clear customer demand. JPYC, the issuer of Japan's first FSA-approved yen stablecoin and a long-standing Elliptic partner, is among those expanding stablecoin distribution into the consumer payment networks where regulated coverage now matters most. "Regulated stablecoins are reaching consumers in APAC faster than anywhere else, and Kaia is one of the networks built to channel that activity. Adding full coverage means our customers can support stablecoin payment flows into the LINE and KakaoTalk ecosystems with the same compliance standards they rely on across the rest of our coverage." - Yvonne Ng, VP APAC at Elliptic APAC is where regulated stablecoin payments are reaching consumers at scale, and Kaia is one of the networks driving that adoption. Elliptic's compliance coverage on the network itself is what allows financial institutions, exchanges and stablecoin issuers to participate confidently as the region's digital asset economy grows.
