Coinbase has announced major updates to TRUST, its Travel Rule compliance network, including the launch of TRUSThub, new global expansion efforts, a partnership with 21 Analytics, and the addition of BNY as a member. The changes are aimed at making crypto compliance easier while keeping data sharing secure and privacy-focused.
TRUST is an industry-led network that helps virtual asset service providers (VASPs) share required Travel Rule information. Instead of storing sensitive data in one central system, it allows verified institutions to exchange information directly with each other in a secure way.
The network already connects hundreds of firms across global markets, including exchanges, custodians, fintech companies, and banks.

What is TRUSThub, and why did Coinbase introduce it?
TRUSThub is a new upgrade introduced to expand connectivity and simplify onboarding for new members. It allows firms to connect with more counterparties worldwide, even if they use different compliance systems or no existing Travel Rule tool.
The goal is to reduce gaps between regions where Travel Rule rules are already active and regions still rolling out compliance frameworks. TRUSThub also makes it faster for companies to integrate into the TRUST network and start exchanging compliance data.
TRUST expands across global financial markets
TRUST continues to grow across major regions, including the US, UK, EU, UAE, India, Japan, Brazil, Canada, and Hong Kong. This expansion allows firms to share compliance information across borders while meeting local regulatory requirements.
The network now includes major financial institutions, with BNY joining as a new member. Its participation adds stronger links between traditional banking and digital asset markets.
21 Analytics and banks join TRUST
Coinbase also announced a partnership with 21 Analytics to make integration easier for crypto firms. Companies using 21 Analytics tools can now connect to TRUST faster and use existing systems to share Travel Rule data.
TRUST is designed to avoid centralized storage of sensitive user data. Instead, verified firms exchange information directly, improving privacy and reducing risk. With new partners and wider coverage, Coinbase aims to make global crypto compliance more connected, secure, and easier to scale.
Meanwhile, Coinbase has grown its presence in the fast-growing decentralized trading market after becoming Hyperliquid’s official treasury deployer for USDC, marking a major transition in the platform’s stablecoin strategy.
