Kroll, a provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, and Bluprynt, a provider of onchain credentialing and compliance infrastructure, have entered into a strategic partnership.
The collaboration will enable financial services institutions and regulators to operationalise digital asset and tokenised markets compliance through the adoption of Know Your Issuer (KYI) technology and strengthened, globally coordinated asset-level risk evaluation frameworks.
Bluprynt and Kroll will assist clients to build stronger risk foundations by integrating verifiable issuer credentials into enterprise risk programmes, while meeting heightened demand for transparency, third-party risk management, and supervisory readiness.
Through the partnership, Kroll will support the global deployment of Bluprynt's KYI solution by enabling institutions and market participants to evaluate issuer representations and validate key KYI information, operationalise KYI outputs within broader risk and compliance programmes, as well as generate audit-ready and examination-ready compliance evidence.
In addition, the firms will collaborate on the development of risk frameworks and evaluations that can be used across jurisdictions, and co-create solutions to support regulators, financial institutions and market infrastructure providers as they navigate emerging risks in digital assets and on-chain finance.
Brent R. Tomlinson, president, Risk Advisory, Kroll, says: "As the sector matures, it is also becoming more complex, bringing heightened challenges across valuation, fraud, investigations and restructuring.
"By combining Kroll's investigatory capabilities and deep crypto expertise with Bluprynt's KYI and regulatory solutions, we can help clients verify and evaluate critical information and bring greater trust to digital asset activity.
"We see growing demand for risk programmes that can demonstrate control with clear, verifiable evidence, something this partnership is designed to operationalise at scale and underpins our commitment to invest heavily in the sector.”
Christopher J. Brummer, CEO of Bluprynt, adds: “The next generation of financial challenges will require on-chain credentials that are verifiable, portable and usable by both institutions and regulators. KYI transforms issuer verification into a machine-readable risk signal embedded directly in digital assets.
"Partnering with Kroll ensures those signals are supported by rigorous risk evaluation and aligned with global supervisory expectations.”
