What does VBNL do?
Collaborating for security and integrity in the Bitcoin and Crypto sector
The United Bitcoin Companies Netherlands (VBNL) is committed to a safe and honest bitcoin and crypto sector. Through collaboration with various stakeholders, we strive to minimize the risks of fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes.
Monthly meeting
The United Bitcoin Companies Netherlands (VBNL) meets monthly to shape the joint interests of the sector. During these meetings, risk analyses are made and mitigating measures are taken against fraud. Together we draw up process models with special attention to Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and fraud prevention. Codes of conduct and quality requirements are also drawn up to guarantee the integrity and quality within the sector.
Working Groups
There are working groups to jointly handle legislation and requests. Working groups focus for example on identifying potential hazards and developing strategies to mitigate risks. Under publications you can find responses to consultations from these working groups.
Education & Workshops
VBNL is intensively involved in education about crypto and blockchain through workshops and trainings. In the workshop “Crypto & Fraud” VBNL presents a detailed program that focuses on various aspects of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, as well as the related fraud forms and prevention measures. Through this approach, VBNL ensures that participants not only understand the technical and theoretical aspects of crypto and blockchain, but also how they can be applied in practice to prevent and combat fraud.
