Episode 124: Fighting Financial Crime in the Token Economy with BARP

How do you investigate financial crime on-chain in a market where many institutions still don’t fully understand the risks?In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, hosts Alex Bausch and Jonny Fry sit down with Liande Visscher, co-founder of BARP (Blockchain Analysis Reporting Platform), to explore the growing role of blockchain analytics in the token economy.Liande explains how BARP helps banks, exchanges and other gatekeepers investigate wallet activity, assess source of funds, and spot red flags in blockchain-based transactions. As digital assets become more embedded in financial markets, the need for practical tools, and practical understanding around blockchain investigations is only increasing.The conversation explores where financial crime risks actually emerge in digital asset markets, why knowledge gaps still leave institutions vulnerable, and how compliance needs to evolve alongside tokenization. From wallet tracing and due diligence to the responsibilities of intermediaries under MiCA, it offers a practical look at what blockchain oversight really requires in practice.Rather than treating compliance as a box-ticking exercise, Liande makes the case for a more investigative, prevention-focused approach: one that helps organisations identify risks earlier, ask better questions, and build the confidence needed to operate in digital assets responsibly.Whether you work in compliance, regulation, tokenization or digital asset infrastructure, this episode offers a grounded perspective on the future of blockchain oversight—and the role analytics will play in making the token economy safer and more transparent.Participants:Alex Bausch - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbausch/ Liande Visscher - https://www.linkedin.com/in/liande-visscher-6a593455/Jonny Fry - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnyfry/Learn more about BARP: https://barp.ioDo you want to join one of the use cases?
