OFAC screening for crypto compliance
Crypto compliance means checking wallets, names, and jurisdictions at every point money moves.
TL;DR
TL;DR: Crypto compliance requires OFAC screening at every transaction point: wallet addresses, counterparty names, and jurisdictions must all be checked before value moves.
The three things to check
- Wallet addresses against 947 OFAC-listed crypto wallets.
- Counterparty names against 19,218 SDN names.
- Jurisdictions across 16 tracked regions.
Why all three
A party can appear on the SDN List by name, control an OFAC-listed wallet, or operate in a sanctioned jurisdiction. Checking only one axis leaves the other two open. A complete screen covers all three before any value moves.
