Orochi Network and Sumsub Partner on Privacy-Preserving Crypto Compliance in Southeast Asia

Orochi Network and Sumsub have formed a strategic partnership to support Web3 and digital-asset businesses preparing for more formal compliance requirements across Southeast Asia, with an initial focus on Vietnam’s emerging licensed crypto market.

Orochi Network said the partnership will combine Sumsub’s identity, business verification and financial-crime compliance infrastructure with Orochi’s privacy-preserving verifiable data technology. The collaboration is aimed at exchanges, issuers and other digital-asset service providers that need to demonstrate regulatory compliance while limiting unnecessary exposure of sensitive customer and transaction data.

Compliance infrastructure for Vietnam’s licensed crypto market

Vietnam is moving toward a more structured licensing environment for crypto assets, increasing demand for systems that can support customer verification, ongoing monitoring and cross-border compliance. Orochi Network acts as an adviser to the city of Da Nang on its international financial centre and technology initiatives, giving the company a role in the region’s developing digital-asset ecosystem.

Through the partnership, projects in Orochi’s ecosystem will gain access to Sumsub’s compliance platform, which includes KYC and KYB, fraud prevention, risk management, ongoing monitoring and Travel Rule capabilities. Sumsub says its Travel Rule network covers more than 2,100 virtual asset service providers, allowing regulated firms to exchange required originator and beneficiary information across transfers.

Privacy-preserving verification layer

Orochi Network will contribute its zkDatabase technology, which uses zero-knowledge proofs to make selected data and data operations verifiable without disclosing the full underlying dataset. The companies intend to use this capability alongside Sumsub’s verification workflows so that businesses can retain auditable evidence that compliance checks have been completed while reducing unnecessary movement of sensitive information.

The initial phase will focus on market-readiness support for projects seeking to operate in Vietnam, together with regional education on regulatory requirements. The companies are also working toward a technical integration between Sumsub’s verification workflows and Orochi’s verifiable data layer.

The partnership reflects a broader RegTech trend in digital assets: compliance infrastructure is increasingly being designed not only to satisfy KYC, AML and Travel Rule requirements, but also to address data minimisation and privacy concerns as regulated crypto markets mature.
