What is a Virtual Asset Service Provider?

A VASP is a crypto-business that conducts any one of the following activities:

  1. Exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies;
  2. Exchange between one or more forms of virtual assets;
  3. Transfer of virtual assets;
  4. Safekeeping and/or administration of virtual assets or instruments enablingcontrol over virtual assets; and
  5. Participation in and provision of financial services related to an issuer’s offerand/or sale of a virtual asset.


FATFs' definition of a VASP is perhaps the most critical definition in the cryptoverse - whether or not your crypto business is expected to implement a costly risk-based compliance program can hinge on this definition. Much of the "revised" part of the revised guidance lives in the VASP definition section. In fact there are about 12 redlined pages dedicated to the topic.

FATF's recommendations are way more than recommendations - they will quickly become regulatory gospel across the globe. And, the recommendations in the updated guidance are game changers.

you truly are the VASP king ;) (y)

I personally own 6 Vasp domains. What is your total ?

I don't see myself worthy of the title because I don't own vasp.com lol but thank you.

I have about 30 vasp related names at this point. don't plan on adding more.
already regret some of the ones I picked up hastily in the beginning so will probably stop here and wont add more.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body that sets standards for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF), has published its updated ‘Draft Guidance on a Risk-Based Approach to Virtual Assets and Virtual Asset Service Providers (Draft Guidance) for public consultation.

Key changes to the Draft Guidance, published on 19 March 2021, include:

  • decentralised Exchanges (DEXs), certain decentralised application owners and operators, crypto escrow services and certain non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are considered virtual asset service providers (VASPs);......

This keyword will *NEVER* (ever) take off in domain sales. I said it repeatedly in the IOT and IOE threads. No one believed me and now those showcase threads have been dead for a couple years now 😂.

Regging VASP domains is like flushing money down the toilet. VASP will have even less sales than IOT, because it's primarily a LEGAL TERMINOLOGY, not a keyword associated with SEO or marketing. And worse it also sounds terrible when said out loud, so very very few will want to brand with it.

It reminds me of SaaS. You'll find a very tiny handful of brands using it and maybe a random off the wall sale or two.

You've been warned.

I'd probably agree the ultimate end user market might not be huge, but I don't know that I'd say *Never* about anything in domaining. Domain names fall into the technology category, which is always evolving. You also have keyword driven seo that will consume domains containing this acronym.

Just saying, profitable or not, speculating is what most domain investors do. When we speculate, there is no guarantee. It's a very personal thing.

@NameFu, reluctantly, I must agree with most of your assessment... I too also suspect the term will have limited utility outside of legal/consulting/compliance... (Think other major regulatory schemes, like FCPA - "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act," etc. that aren't consumer-facing, thus have little domain presence...) Hence, I only took a header on a couple of names, like VASP law / VASP lawyer - I'll drop 'em in a year if the term doesn't develop any real utility... worth a punt! (y)

thanks for the warning, although it was unnecessary since many (including myself) have posted the same warning throughout the thread.

but good on you for stating the obvious one more time.

Not going to check every page of every thread before I post something. It's very common to see similar posts in forums. I think it's good for everyone to hear different takes on the same point, on why we probably won't see many meaningful sales in this keyword, so no harm done, especially when it's not obvious to everyone. .

Disagree !
The performance of my VASP names are much better, out of Top 10 Traffic generator domains listed for sale. Three are VASP. and 1 VASP is in top 3 traffic generator.
Surprisingly, out of these 3 VASP, two are (.net)
So it gives a view that VASP is equal to the trendy NFT and DeFi etc.

It's very likely that they're bots. How many seconds are they on your landers. If it's less than 2 seconds they're bots simply archiving and indexing....not that any of that has to do with sales.

Domains with "My" are known to get tons of bot traffic. Don't trust Dan's or Epic's stats because they won't show how many seconds visitors are on your landers. If it's less than 2 seconds they're bots archiving and indexing.

The number of people on this forum stressing over other members holdings or sales is strangely high!
pretentious opinion-based comments portrayed as facts is way too common here, apparently.

take every comment with a grain of salt is my point.

Time is good, from 9 to 12 seconds average

He uses sales, but I think if traffic is coming and taking the domain to top three level, it suggest that there is good interest in it and surprisingly out of three VASP, two of them are in .net.
When interest / traffic generates only then sales come. So nothing is rules out and sales will come for sure. That is my view as per my own holding "listing for sale" data study.
