Bains Lab also supports government programs to mitigate money-laundering and terrorist financing.

Our founder, Jasleen Bains, specializes in anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. With over a decade of experience, she has developed, executed and supervised financial crime policy, programs and strategies for financial institutions, including cryptocurrency enterprises. Her expertise includes blockchain monitoring, decentralized and centralized financial companies, and web3 compliance.

She previously wrote sanctions resolutions at the UN Security Council at the United Nations, drafted terrorist designations at the U.S. Department of State, and represented the United States on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing policies. She helped draft some of the first U.S. counterterrorism cryptocurrency sanctions.
