MAS’ observations on new product risk assessments are instructive here: DPTSPs generally had risk indicators in place but they frequently lacked granularity on how those indicators should be assessed, which information sources to use and which functions (business, compliance, technology risk) should be involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Practical steps for compliance officers:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Maintain a live inventory of DPT exposure points (new token listings, new counterparty VASPs, new payment corridors and new customer segments) and require a documented ML\u002FTF risk assessment \u003Ci>before\u003C\u002Fi> each is activated, not after.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Build risk-identification criteria that go beyond generic “high-risk jurisdiction” indicators to token-specific and counterparty-specific factors: association with exposure to illicit or high-risk entities such as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Fblockchain-basics\u002Fwhat-is-a-crypto-mixer\u002F\">mixers\u003C\u002Fa>, darknet markets or sanctioned wallets; issuer governance and ownership concentration; and technological or smart-contract vulnerabilities that could be exploited for illicit flows.

MAS’ case studies on enhanced customer due diligence (ECDD) show a recurring weakness: institutions relying solely on customer declarations for source of wealth (SOW) and source of funds (SOF), without independent corroboration and without considering the customer’s historical or beneficial-owner nationality when it touched a higher-risk jurisdiction. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If SOW\u002FSOF is accepted at face value without independent corroboration or regard for higher-risk nationality links, the institution loses its ability to detect misrepresented wealth or concealed risk, exposing it to regulatory censure for inadequate ECDD.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Practical steps for compliance officers:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Treat blockchain analytics as one input among several, not the sole basis for a risk rating.

The case studies are specific to DPTSPs, but the underlying lessons are universal:\n\n- Policies that are not granular enough to guide staff\n- Undocumented risk assessments\n- Screening that runs on stale cycles\n- Blockchain analytics used narrowly rather than as part of a holistic risk view\n\nFor compliance officers, this paper sets out MAS’ expectations. The findings need to be translated into repeatable, auditable steps across the financial crime compliance (FCC) risk management lifecycle: risk identification, risk assessment, risk monitoring, risk reporting and risk governance. This is where blockchain analytics progresses from a “nice to have” to a discretionary add-on to a structural component of the control environment.\n\n## Why the scrutiny on the DPT sector\n\nMAS was clear that DPTs carry heightened money laundering and terrorism financing (ML\u002FTF) risk because of their pseudonymous and cross-border nature. But the same pressure point exists wherever an FI touches virtual assets, including correspondent banking relationships with virtual asset service providers (VASPs), custody arrangements, institutional trading desks or fiat on\u002Foff-ramp services.\n\nThe MAS paper repeatedly makes the point that on-chain visibility must be fused with off-chain information. Neither is sufficient alone. That fusion has to happen somewhere in the compliance operating model, and its natural home is the five-stage risk lifecycle that most FIs already use to manage financial crime risk.\n\n## 1. Risk identification: knowing what you don’t yet know\n\nThe starting point of the lifecycle is identifying where ML\u002FTF risk can enter the institution. MAS’ observations on new product risk assessments are instructive here: DPTSPs generally had risk indicators in place but they frequently lacked granularity on how those indicators should be assessed, which information sources to use and which functions (business, compliance, technology risk) should be involved.\n\n**Practical steps for compliance officers:**\n\n- Maintain a live inventory of DPT exposure points (new token listings, new counterparty VASPs, new payment corridors and new customer segments) and require a documented ML\u002FTF risk assessment *before* each is activated, not after.\n- Build risk-identification criteria that go beyond generic “high-risk jurisdiction” indicators to token-specific and counterparty-specific factors: association with exposure to illicit or high-risk entities such as [mixers](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Fblockchain-basics\u002Fwhat-is-a-crypto-mixer\u002F), darknet markets or sanctioned wallets; issuer governance and ownership concentration; and technological or smart-contract vulnerabilities that could be exploited for illicit flows. Most cryptoasset risks map to categories that institutions already address: customer\u002Fcounterparty, geographic and product\u002Fservice risk. On-chain behavioral risk is the one dimension with no direct equivalent in traditional finance. For more details, refer to [Elliptic's Typologies Report](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Finsights\u002Fcryptoasset-risk-and-typologies-for-financial-institutions\u002F).\n- Use blockchain analytics at the earliest stage to pre-screen a prospective token, wallet or counterparty VASP before commercial onboarding, rather than treating analytics for post-onboarding monitoring.\n- Document the reasoning behind thresholds (market capitalization, trading volume, liquidity) used to admit or reject a product or counterparty, so the criteria can be reviewed and defended later. This is a gap MAS’ own case studies flagged explicitly.\n\n## 2. Risk assessment: building a holistic customer and product risk profile\n\nOnce a risk is identified, it must be assessed, both at onboarding and periodically thereafter. MAS’ case studies on enhanced customer due diligence (ECDD) show a recurring weakness: institutions relying solely on customer declarations for source of wealth (SOW) and source of funds (SOF), without independent corroboration and without considering the customer’s historical or beneficial-owner nationality when it touched a higher-risk jurisdiction.\n\nIf SOW\u002FSOF is accepted at face value without independent corroboration or regard for higher-risk nationality links, the institution loses its ability to detect misrepresented wealth or concealed risk, exposing it to regulatory censure for inadequate ECDD.\n\n**Practical steps for compliance officers:**\n\n- Treat blockchain analytics as one input among several, not the sole basis for a risk rating. On-chain data should be triangulated with bank statements, employment records and other off-chain evidence to corroborate SOW\u002FSOF, particularly where incoming funds are DPTs.\n- For customers whose wealth derives from virtual asset activity, require supporting documentation on the nature, timing and counterparties of prior transactions, not just their existence.\n- Assess jurisdiction risk dynamically, considering a customer’s current and prior nationalities, residency history and the origin of funds, rather than defaulting to current nationality alone.\n- Where a customer arrives from a platform with weak historical AML\u002FCFT controls (a scenario increasingly relevant as clients migrate between regulatory regimes), be prudent by requiring wallet-level behavioral analysis to reconstruct the transaction history that the originating platform failed to maintain.\n- Ensure risk assessments are signed off by an identified compliance or control function, with senior management or Board approval properly evidenced. Undocumented approvals were a specific finding in MAS’s case studies.\n\n## 3. Risk monitoring: moving from static screening to continuous, on-chain-aware surveillance\n\nMAS was clear that ongoing monitoring must consider both DPT and fiat transactions together, and that sound compliance practice requires blockchain analytics solutions to be used alongside, rather than in place of, off-chain transaction and customer data monitoring.\n\nSeveral case studies illustrate the consequence of narrow monitoring practices: transaction parameters that failed to detect rapid DPT-in, fiat-out patterns; alerts cleared on the basis of transaction size alone, without deeper on-chain context such as timestamps or intermediary wallet counterparties; and annual, rather than continuous, sanctions re-screening that left a six-month blind spot\u002Fgap in coverage after a customer became sanctioned.\n\n**Practical steps for compliance officers:**\n\n- Calibrate transaction monitoring thresholds and scenarios to the institution’s own customer base, product mix and risk appetite, rather than default vendor or group-wide settings, and review them periodically for continued relevance.\n- Integrate blockchain analytics outputs (wallet risk scores, exposure to mixers, darknet markets and high-risk exchanges) directly into the transaction monitoring workflow, rather than running them as a parallel, disconnected process.\n- When an alert involves on-chain exposure, obtain additional context (transaction timestamps, intermediary wallet hops, counterparty attribution) before clearing it, rather than closing the alert on transaction value alone.\n- Move sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening of customers, beneficial owners and value-transfer counterparties to continuous or near-real-time cycles rather than static onboarding-plus-annual reviews.\n- Apply enhanced, on-chain-informed risk mitigation (such as proof-of-wallet-ownership checks, transaction limits or additional counterparty due diligence) consistently to transfers involving [unhosted wallets](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Finsights\u002Fhosted-vs-unhosted-wallets\u002F) or unregulated VASPs, regardless of whether a specific transaction has already been flagged as high-risk.\n\n## 4. Risk reporting: making the invisible visible to decision-makers\n\nA control environment is only as strong as the information it surfaces to those who must act on it. MAS’ emphasis on documentation (of risk assessments, deviations from policy, Board approvals and quality assurance findings) points to a broader reporting gap: Many of the weaknesses identified were not failures of intent but failures of evidence.\n\n**Practical steps for compliance officers:**\n\n- Establish periodic reporting to senior management and the Board that consolidates blockchain analytics findings (aggregate wallet exposure trends, sanctions nexus incidents, illicit\u002Fhigh-risk exposure volumes) alongside traditional AML\u002FCFT metrics such as [suspicious activity report (SAR) filings](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Finsights\u002Fhigh-quality-crypto-sar\u002F) and alert closure rates.\n- Report on the quality of alert handling, not just alert volumes, including sampling results from quality assurance reviews of how analytics-driven alerts were investigated and closed.\n- Escalate and report materially significant gaps promptly, including deficiencies identified in outsourced service providers or [Travel Rule](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Fblockchain-basics\u002Fwhat-is-the-travel-rule\u002F) solution coverage, rather than waiting for periodic cycles.\n- Maintain an auditable record connecting each material risk decision (a listing approval, an ECDD sign-off, an alert closure) to the underlying analytics and off-chain evidence considered, so the institution can reconstruct its reasoning for regulators on demand.\n\n## 5.
