Solidus Labs

Join Delphine Forma, Head of Policy Europe at Solidus Labs, as she sits down with Mai Kaneko, International Business Lead at DCP — the company behind the DCJPY Network, Japan's multi-bank tokenised deposit infrastructure.
They explore one of the most consequential and least understood developments in digital finance — the rise of tokenised deposits as a distinct and complementary form of digital money. Drawing on Japan's position as one of the first markets where tokenised deposits are becoming a commercial reality, Mai brings a rare insider perspective on what it takes to build shared financial infrastructure across competing banks, regulators, and borders.

What does it take to build an AML programme that actually works in practice?
In this episode of Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma speaks with Tigran Rostomyan, Founder & CEO of AML Incubator, about Canada's AML framework for crypto businesses and the practical realities of building an effective compliance programme.
Tigran explains how FINTRAC registration interacts with Canada's securities framework, the five core components of an AML programme, and why the risk assessment should be the foundation for the controls a firm puts in place.
The conversation explores the practical challenges of the Travel Rule, including unhosted wallets and missing counterparty information, as well as how firms can build effective transaction monitoring by bringing together KYC, customer behaviour, fiat and crypto activity, blockchain analytics and sanctions screening.
Delphine and Tigran also discuss key crypto financial crime typologies, suspicious transaction reporting and examination readiness, with a recurring theme throughout the conversation: having policies is not enough. Firms need to demonstrate that their AML controls are risk-based, properly implemented and effective in practice.

In this episode of Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma speaks with Torstein Braaten, Chief Compliance Officer at Canada Stablecorp and Managing Director at Eskay Capital, about Canada's distinctive approach to digital asset regulation.
Rather than regulating crypto-assets themselves, Canada has built its framework around the concept of the crypto contract, a unique legal approach that shapes everything from licensing and custody to market structure and investor protection.
Together, they explore how Canada's regulatory framework has evolved, why understanding a firm's business model is just as important as understanding the assets it offers, and how the market is preparing for the next phase of tokenization.

As digital asset regulation matures, compliance is no longer just about understanding regulatory requirements. The real challenge is turning those requirements into governance, controls and operating models that work in practice.
In this episode of Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma sits down with Nehal Chudasama, Head of Compliance and MLRO at Enigma Securities, to discuss what it really means to operationalise compliance.
Drawing on his experience building compliance frameworks for an institutional digital asset broker, Nehal shares practical insights on scaling governance, preparing for new regulatory regimes, designing effective market surveillance frameworks and using AI to strengthen—rather than replace—professional judgement.
