Amber Group announced that it was awarded the ‘Virtual Asset Service Provider of the Year’ in the category of ‘Best Solution - Virtual Assets’ in the fifth Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2022.  

The Regulation Asia Awards recognizes excellence by firms that help to ensure the highest compliance standards are upheld in the financial industry, and have shaped the regulatory landscape in Asia Pacific. This year’s award program—the fifth annual Regulation Asia Awards For Excellence—saw 148 submissions and the award ceremony was held in Singapore on 22 November 2022. 

Regulation Asia’s ‘Best Solution’ category recognizes solutions that financial institutions leverage to meet regulatory demands and stay compliant in the areas related to financial crime compliance. The VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) of the Year award was presented for the best solution that offers institutional-grade security controls.  

Operating at the center of markets, Amber Group provides a full range of digital asset services spanning liquidity provisioning, trading, financing, and investing, with an aim to build products and solutions that help its clients grow wealth sustainably.
