KYT answers what they are doing, who they are transacting with, and whether that activity matches their stated profile.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"548\">Most KYT gaps are not tooling gaps. They are missing risk scoring on counterparties, alerts nobody dispositions, and no audit trail a reviewer can follow.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"706\">FATF Recommendations 15 and 16 set the expectation for transaction-level monitoring at virtual asset businesses, though national implementation varies by jurisdiction.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"877\">When you compare KYT tools, test six things: chain coverage, attribution depth, screening latency, counterparty risk scoring, case management, and the quality of the evidence produced.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1066\">Your supervisor asks how you monitor customer activity after onboarding. Your banking partner asks the same question in different words, usually before a review of the relationship. If the honest answer is a screening tool that runs once at account opening, you have a KYT compliance gap, and it is the kind that surfaces during an examination rather than quietly. If you are further along and comparing KYT tools rather than defining the term, the six criteria that separate real capability from a dashboard are chain coverage, attribution depth, screening latency, counterparty risk scoring, case management, and exportable evidence quality. Each one is covered below, along with how to test it.<\/p><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1765\">This guide covers what KYT compliance means, how it sits alongside KYC and KYB, where programs fall short under scrutiny, and what to have ready when you are asked to prove yours works.<\/p><h2 id=\"What-is-KYT-compliance?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"1952\">What is KYT compliance?<\/h2><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1977\">KYT compliance is the practice of monitoring, risk scoring, and documenting blockchain transactions on an ongoing basis to detect and act on financial crime risk. It applies to deposits, withdrawals, and internal transfers, and it assesses the counterparties on the other side of each transaction rather than only the customer in front of you. A working KYT program screens transactions in real time, assigns a risk score based on the exposure it finds, generates alerts, records how each alert was resolved, and retains that record for review.<\/p><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2523\">The distinction that matters operationally is timing. KYC happens at a point in time and gets refreshed periodically. KYT runs continuously, because risk arrives with the transaction.<\/p><h2 id=\"How-is-KYT-different-from-KYC-and-KYB?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2708\">How is KYT different from KYC and KYB?<\/h2><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2748\">The three controls answer different questions and produce different evidence.

It runs real-time KYT across 330+ blockchains, scores counterparty exposure using verified entity attribution, and produces audit-ready reports with a full trail behind each decision, so the answer to &#8220;show me how you resolved this alert&#8221; is a document rather than an explanation.<\/p><h2 id=\"How-do-you-evidence-KYT-to-a-supervisor-or-banking-partner?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"7223\">How do you evidence KYT to a supervisor or banking partner?<\/h2><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"7284\">Have four things ready before you are asked for them.<\/p><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"7339\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">A written monitoring scope.<\/strong> Which transactions are screened, against what lists and risk categories, at what point in the flow, and what falls outside scope by design.

It refers to the ongoing monitoring, risk scoring, and documentation of blockchain transactions to detect financial crime risk. The term sits alongside KYC and KYB, and covers customer activity after onboarding rather than customer identity at onboarding.<\/p><h3 id=\"What-is-the-difference-between-KYT-and-KYC?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"9069\">What is the difference between KYT and KYC?<\/h3><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"9114\">KYC verifies who your customer is using identity documents and screening, at onboarding and on periodic refresh. KYT monitors what that customer does afterward, assessing every transaction and the counterparties involved. A customer can pass KYC cleanly and still send funds to a high-risk address the same week.<\/p><h3 id=\"Is-KYT-a-regulatory-requirement?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"9428\">Is KYT a regulatory requirement?<\/h3><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"9462\">Transaction monitoring for virtual asset businesses is set out in FATF Recommendations 15 and 16, which most jurisdictions implement through national law and licensing conditions. The specific obligation, thresholds, and timing depend on where you operate and what license you hold, so confirm the detail with your counsel.<\/p><h3 id=\"Who-needs-KYT-compliance?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"9787\">Who needs KYT compliance?<\/h3><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"9814\">Crypto exchanges, wallet providers, OTC desks, and payment processors that handle digital assets need KYT as a licensing and banking requirement. Financial institutions with crypto-exposed customers need it to assess inbound risk. Law enforcement and regulators use the same transaction analysis for investigations and oversight.<\/p><h3 id=\"How-do-you-compare-KYT-tools?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"10140\">How do you compare KYT tools?<\/h3><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"10171\">Compare on-chain coverage, attribution depth and how labels are verified, screening latency against your release process, whether counterparty exposure is traced across multiple hops and chains, case management inside the platform and the quality of exportable evidence. Test each on live data rather than accepting a feature list.<\/p><h3 id=\"What-is-the-difference-between-KYT-and-transaction-monitoring?\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"10505\">What is the difference between KYT and transaction monitoring?<\/h3><p data-renderer-start-pos=\"10569\">Transaction monitoring is the broader term used across banking for reviewing customer activity against expected behavior. KYT is transaction monitoring applied to blockchain activity, where the counterparty is an address rather than an account, so it depends on attribution and on-chain tracing that traditional systems do not perform.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35c3b4e4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35c3b4e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ce59411 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ce59411\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"11545\">Want to see KYT working on live data?
