Amsterdam, Netherlands — Veridas, a global leader in identity verification and fraud prevention, will showcase its latest innovations at Money20/20 Europe from June 3–5, 2025, with a focus on helping crypto exchanges and wallet providers meet the rising bar for compliance, security, and user privacy.
As the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) approaches full enforcement, Veridas is working with the industry to deliver identity solutions that move beyond fragmented KYC processes and help exchanges scale in regulated markets.
“Crypto platforms face a turning point. Identity can no longer be an afterthought — it’s now essential to compliance, user trust, and growth,” said Eduardo Azanza, CEO of Veridas. “At Veridas, we’re providing the tools to meet MiCA requirements while improving the user experience and fighting fraud head-on.”
Stopping Synthetic Fraud at the Source
Crypto platforms are increasingly targeted by synthetic identity fraud, where AI-generated personas are used to bypass verification systems. Veridas is showcasing real-world solutions to this threat — including detection of injection attacks, where deepfakes are fed directly into the verification process.
Veridas’ proprietary technology goes beyond simple biometrics. It verifies device integrity, data origin, and behavioral consistency to ensure the user is real — and present.
MiCA-Ready Identity and Biometric KYC
Veridas provides fully auditable, privacy-respecting identity flows designed to meet MiCA’s demands across the EU — from biometric KYC to multi-country compliance. The platform is adaptable to regional requirements such as SEPBLAC in Spain, while maintaining consistency across onboarding, authentication, and ongoing verification.
Decentralized Identity with Nexus Wallet
Veridas will also present Nexus Wallet, its decentralized, self-sovereign identity solution aligned with eIDAS 2.0. Nexus gives users full control over their credentials — allowing them to prove eligibility or identity without revealing unnecessary data. For example, a user can verify they are over 18 without sharing their name or birthdate.
Veridas is a member of WE BUILD, the European Commission–backed initiative piloting the EU Digital Identity Wallet. As part of the project, Veridas is enabling secure payments and service access for public and private use cases — including age-restricted transactions and digital benefits — with full user control and privacy by design.
Built-In Accessibility for Inclusive Identity
Veridas has also adapted its identity technology to meet the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which takes effect in June 2025. This includes support for screen readers, keyboard navigation, and voice biometrics — ensuring identity verification works for users of all abilities.
