Orochi Network and Sumsub have announced a strategic partnership to help Web3 and digital-asset businesses across Southeast Asia become compliance-ready as Vietnam establishes its licensing framework for crypto assets. According to reports from the companies, the partnership combines Orochi's verifiable data infrastructure built on zero-knowledge proof technology with Sumsub's AI-powered trust infrastructure for compliance. Vietnam is among the world's most active retail crypto markets and is now moving from regulatory ambiguity to a defined licensing framework, creating demand for end-to-end infrastructure that supports both compliance and innovation.
Through the partnership, Orochi Network's ecosystem gains access to Sumsub's AI-powered trust infrastructure, which unifies identity and business verification, fraud prevention, ongoing monitoring, risk management, and Travel Rule compliance in a single layer. As reported by the companies, Sumsub's platform covers more than 220 countries and territories and continuously adapts to evolving regulatory requirements, enabling businesses to scale securely across jurisdictions. The partnership combines Sumsub's compliance infrastructure with Orochi's verifiable data layer, bringing together verification and privacy-preserving technology for regulated markets.
According to the announcement, Sumsub contributes the verification and compliance engine required by regulated markets, including the industry's largest Travel Rule directory of over 2,100 virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Orochi contributes zkDatabase, a verifiable database that proves data correct cryptographically without exposing underlying information. The company is an official advisor to the city of Da Nang on its international financial centre initiative and technology solutions, positioning itself at the intersection of Web3 builders and policymakers.
Mary Tran, CEO of Orochi Network, stated that compliance and privacy have too often been treated as a trade-off, emphasizing that Sumsub is the global benchmark for verification and Southeast Asia is opening up under real regulatory frameworks. "Together we give builders here a credible path into licensed markets with cryptographic proof behind it," she noted. Penny Chai, Vice President, APAC at Sumsub, highlighted that Vietnam is entering a pivotal phase as it formalizes its approach to digital asset regulation, requiring a trusted compliance infrastructure that can keep pace with both local requirements and global standards. "Through our partnership with Orochi Network, we are combining AI-powered verification and compliance capabilities with privacy-preserving data innovation, enabling companies to scale confidently while meeting regulatory expectations across Southeast Asia and beyond," Chai added.
The partnership will initially focus on go-to-market support for projects preparing for licensing in Vietnam, alongside regional education on regulatory readiness. According to the companies, both teams are working toward technical integration between Sumsub's verification workflows and Orochi's verifiable, privacy-preserving data layer, with the objective of making compliance both auditable and secure for businesses entering regulated markets. Sumsub works with 8 out of 10 top global crypto exchanges and supports over 4,000 clients across crypto, fintech, gaming, mobility, and edtech industries.
