Gate outlines mandatory KYC and risk-based AML controls

Gate states that customers must complete KYC before trading and describes ongoing reviews, transaction monitoring and enhanced due diligence for higher-risk users.

Investigation relevance: KYC controls may support lawful attribution requests, but they do not make public blockchain labels equivalent to verified customer identity.

Binance describes law-enforcement training and investigation support

Binance reported providing cyber-policing and crypto-investigation training to INTERPOL officers and described cooperation channels for lawful data, freezing or seizure requests.

Investigation relevance: a CEX touchpoint becomes actionable only after the fund path and destination entity are both supported by evidence.

OKX updates its AML, counter-terrorist-financing and sanctions disclosure

OKX describes a risk-based AML, anti-terrorist-financing and sanctions program that includes customer due diligence, monitoring and compliance controls.

Investigation relevance: a verified exchange deposit may become a records-request lead, but an entity label alone is not proof that a named person controls the receiving account.

Circle USDC terms explain blocklisting and lawful freeze conditions

Circle states in its USDC terms that it may block transfers involving certain addresses and may freeze or surrender associated funds when required by a valid government order.

Investigation relevance: the token contract and issuer policy can create an intervention point, but evidence quality, jurisdiction and lawful process remain decisive.

Tether reports USD 344 million USDT freeze coordinated with U.S. authorities

Tether stated that it supported U.S. authorities in freezing more than USD 344 million in USDT across two addresses after receiving information connected with alleged unlawful conduct.

Chainalysis: personal-wallet compromises surged during 2025

Chainalysis estimated more than USD 3.4 billion in crypto theft during 2025 and highlighted a sharp increase in individual-wallet compromises.

Chainalysis 2026: illicit-address inflows reached a new lower-bound estimate

Chainalysis reported that addresses it had identified as illicit received at least USD 154 billion in 2025, while emphasizing that attribution expands over time and the figure is a lower-bound estimate.

Investigation relevance: address labels and aggregate crime estimates change as new evidence is added. A current label is a lead, not a complete account of every criminal flow.
