London, UK – December 5, 2025 – In a landmark move for the European cryptocurrency security sector, Blockchain Registry has officially announced its strategic membership in the Global Cyber Defense Alliance (GCDA), with a specific focus on its European chapter. This partnership represents a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle against sophisticated digital financial crime, aligning Blockchain Registry's specialized asset recovery capabilities with the rigorous standards of the European Union's new MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework.
The GCDA is an elite international consortium comprising top-tier cybersecurity firms, government intelligence agencies (including liaisons from Europol's EC3), and major European financial institutions. Its primary mandate is to facilitate the real-time sharing of threat intelligence and to coordinate unified responses to large-scale cyber threats targeting the Eurozone. By joining this prestigious alliance, Blockchain Registry gains unprecedented access to a continental grid of resources, significantly enhancing its ability to trace, freeze, and recover stolen assets across complex jurisdictions within and outside the EU.
Bridging the Jurisdictional Gap in Europe
"Crypto crime is inherently borderless, but regulation is local," stated Alexander Volkov, CEO of Blockchain Registry, during the signing ceremony in London. "A hacker can steal funds from a wallet in Paris, route them through a mixer in Eastern Europe, and cash out in a non-extradition zone. Our partnership with the GCDA allows us to bridge these jurisdictional gaps effectively, leveraging the European Investigation Order (EIO) framework. We now have a direct, secure line of communication with local partners and law enforcement agencies across all 27 EU member states, enabling us to act with the speed required to intercept funds before they vanish."
Strategic Focus Areas: MiCA and Beyond
This collaboration will focus on several critical areas aligned with MiCA requirements: establishing shared protocols for rapid asset freezing under the EU's new Travel Rule implementation, developing joint training programs for law enforcement on advanced blockchain forensics, and creating a unified European database of known malicious wallet addresses. The partnership also signals Blockchain Registry's commitment to proactive compliance as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve across the European Union.
