de Risk Partners has launched a new Compliance-as-a-Service platform for crypto startups, promising 70–85% cost savings by combining agentic AI with fractional compliance leadership.
The company’s integrated model replaces traditional consulting with a blended stack of AI-powered monitoring, 24/7 managed service centers, and on-demand access to senior compliance experts, giving early-stage exchanges and digital asset firms enterprise-grade capabilities without upfront infrastructure costs.
“In this industry, trust is currency, and firms that build strong controls earliest will win the next wave of adoption,” said de Risk Partners founder and former Citigroup executive Ravi de Silva.
The offering includes a 90-day pilot program that allows firms to test regulatory controls, measure ROI, and validate transaction-monitoring performance before committing to full deployment.
“We designed this platform to eliminate the compliance barrier that keeps early crypto firms from scaling responsibly,” said Mr de Silva.
The company said partnerships with Hawk.ai and other technology providers extend advanced AML and fraud-detection capability to clients navigating complex cross-border frameworks.
“Startups shouldn’t have to choose between speed and strong regulatory standards, and this model removes that trade-off,” said Mr de Silva.
de Risk Partners positions its platform as a way for crypto exchanges and fintech firms to convert compliance from a cost burden into a competitive edge.
Founded in 2024, the firm generated seven-figure revenue in its first year, driven by demand from North America, Europe, and APAC clients.
Its strategy centers on embedding AI-driven controls, strengthening AML programs, and helping firms scale across multiple jurisdictions without operational bottlenecks.
