VALEGA serves leading financial institutions, advisory firms, and law enforcement agencies across Europe, North America, and Asia, with collaborations that include Softronic, Goldman Sachs–linked intelligence networks, Sigma7/Alaco, Europol, UNODC, U.S. court systems, as well as a recent engagement with North American government agencies. Its proprietary data infrastructure, developed over more than six years and considered one of the most comprehensive high-quality crypto intelligence databases of its kind, represents a defensible and compounding competitive moat.

VALEGA’s proprietary compliance architecture is designed to unify transaction monitoring, risk intelligence, forensics, auditability, and reporting, replacing the fragmented vendor stacks that today slow institutional adoption. This positions VALEGA not merely as a tool provider, but as a long-term strategic partner trusted to open the gates to the next financial paradigm.

Digital Assets Are Entering the Regulated Financial System

“Having followed and worked alongside the digital asset sector since 2016, I can attest that most financial institutions do not lack interest, they lack a trusted partner who combines technical depth, regulatory insight, and institutional credibility,” says Tobias Mathiasen, Venture Partner at Katalysen. “Citibank projects tokenized financial assets could reach 4 trillion USD by 2030. US Treasury guidance and MiCA are raising expectations around auditability and reporting. What institutions need is not another analytics vendor, but a complete compliance offering designed for regulated markets. That is why VALEGA is so well positioned.”

In recent years, VALEGA has played critical roles in major cross-border investigations, including stopping Nordic fraud networks, advising high-stakes legal cases in New York and London, and contributing to global AML policymaking and FATF and MiCA aligned regulatory frameworks. Its work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes and recognized by international enforcement bodies.

A Strategic Value Driver for the Portfolio

VALEGA is now entering an aggressive commercial phase, with active expansion into the UK, Germany, and North America, and with revenues having doubled annually in recent years. Its ambition is clear: to establish market leadership in digital asset governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) within the next 24 months.

“VALEGA’s thought leadership, long experience, and trusted relationships with major partners and clients make it the preferred partner for larger institutions entering the digital asset space,” says Peter Almberg, Founder and Chairman of Katalysen. “With its deep data foundation, it delivers not only the most comprehensive compliance infrastructure, but also confidence to those who use it. Going forward, it will not be new regulations or cost-cutting that drive adoption of solutions like VALEGA’s. It will be new revenue streams and new clients. A vast number of established businesses now need to enter this market, and they will want to do it together with a partner trusted by many, like VALEGA.”
