Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Ospree is a Singapore-headquartered company that builds digital-asset compliance infrastructure for crypto-asset companies and regulated financial institutions. Its platform is organised as interoperable modules: a Travel Rule module for transferring originator and beneficiary information across jurisdictions, Blockchain Analytics that integrates insights from multiple analytics partners to flag AML risks and cross-validate wallet address risk, a Rule Engine that converts regulatory requirements into automated rules that flag or restrict transactions across on-chain and off-chain processes, an Accounts Directory that standardises data exchange between modules through unique account identifiers, a Reporting Hub for audit-ready reports reconciling cross-module information, and a REST API for integration into existing systems.

The company positions itself at the centre of a connected ecosystem in which third-party services plug into its platform, and markets multi-step compliance workflow building, pre-built workflow templates and automation tools. It also offers AI Catalyst (also referred to as Catalyst AI), an AI-assisted compliance assistant built into the platform to support Travel Rule and regulatory workflows, evidence collection, counterparty risk assessment and compliance records. The platform supports compliance for transactions involving self-hosted wallets, counterparty sanctions screening, customisable reports and support for more than 10,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens.

Third-party directory coverage describes Ospree as a SaaS cloud platform providing B2B full-stack compliance ecosystems covering address whitelisting, transaction monitoring, Travel Rule and reporting for customers in the digital asset industry, and notes the company is backed by Ripple and Techstars.

Founding story

The company was started on the premise that crypto cannot scale if compliance is treated as an afterthought, leading its founders to build a modular compliance platform directly into the blockchain stack so that regulatory alignment functions as a native infrastructure layer.

Business model

B2B software-as-a-service: regulated crypto and financial institutions subscribe to modular compliance capabilities delivered through a cloud platform and REST API, with modules replaceable individually as regulations change.

Ospree markets a single usage-based plan, customised per customer, with tiers based on monthly transaction volume and team size — ranging from 1 to 20+ users and from under 1,000 to over 3 million Travel Rule and Blockchain Analytics checks per month. Full API access, the Accounts Directory and the Reporting Hub are included in every plan. A third-party listing estimates annual revenue in the $1M-$10M range as of September 2026.

Traction

Company materials cite 120+ projects connected, 65-70 million end users enabled, 99.9% service uptime, over 1,600 VASPs in its global directory and users in more than 25 countries. Customer and partner testimonials come from RAID Square, Provenance, Crystal Intelligence, Summons Abogados, Bit2me Security Token Exchange and the Techstars Web3 Accelerator. A third-party listing estimates roughly 10 employees as of September 2026.

Latest developments

In February 2026, Ospree and Monetari launched interoperable Travel Rule infrastructure for Turkish crypto-asset service providers, and in May 2026 the company was recognised with UK Cyber Essentials certification, a UK government-backed scheme validating technical controls across secure configuration, access control, patch management, malware protection and network security. The company is extending AI-assisted compliance through its Catalyst AI / AI Catalyst assistant.

Market position

Ospree competes in the crypto regulatory-technology segment focused on Travel Rule and AML compliance, and reports 120+ connected projects, more than 1,600 VASPs in its global directory and users in over 25 countries. It partners with, rather than replaces, blockchain analytics vendors, integrating multiple analytics providers into its Travel Rule flow.

The company describes compliance as a native layer of blockchain infrastructure rather than an external add-on, emphasising a modular design in which customers can swap individual modules, interoperability with third-party compliance tools and analytics providers, coverage of self-hosted wallet transfers, and an AI assistant trained on a global regulatory knowledge base.

Technology

Cloud-hosted compliance platform exposing a RESTful API that returns structured validation data on blockchain addresses (for example chain, validation status, self-hosted and verified flags, and customer reference identifiers). The architecture is modular and interoperable, allowing individual modules to be replaced without system overhauls, and includes a rule engine for automated multi-step workflows plus AI features built on integrations such as OpenAI. Third-party profiling lists Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud infrastructure, Webflow and WordPress, and tools including Hotjar, HubSpot Analytics, Calendly and Google Workspace.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales driven by demo requests and custom pricing quotes, supported by a developer quickstart and API documentation for technical onboarding, and by partnerships and integrations with blockchain analytics vendors, law firms, exchanges and compliance providers whose endorsements the company publishes. Participation in accelerator and ecosystem programmes has been used to build partner and customer networks.

Crypto-asset companies and financial institutions, including payment companies handling digital assets, crypto exchanges and OTC desks, as well as banking, payments and real-world asset tokenization businesses operating under AML/CTF, Travel Rule and MiCA obligations.

Geography

Headquartered in the Central Region of Singapore, with customers described as spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania and regulated institutions across Europe, the United States, Asia and the UAE; users are reported in more than 25 countries and staff across multiple continents.

History

Founded in 2022, Ospree has been selected for programmes and accelerators including Techstars Web3, the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator and the XRP Ledger Program. It was listed in the Fintech News Singapore startup directory in December 2024, and third-party coverage records a UK Cyber Essentials certification and a Travel Rule interoperability launch with Monetari for Turkish CASPs.
