Last week, we launched the new version of our KYA and KYT reports. This update aims to facilitate the daily work of compliance teams working with cryptocurrency and help businesses to comply with evolving legal requirements on cryptocurrencies.

What do KYA and KYT mean?

First, let’s have a look at what are KYA and KYT. KYA means know-your-address, and a KYA report gives detailed information about a specific cryptocurrency address. Equally, KYT means Know-your-transaction and gives detailed information about a cryptocurrency transaction.

Why do you need KYA KYT reports?

Then, you might ask: “why do I need these reports.” The answer is simple: compliance.

Today, more and more countries are implementing regulations on cryptocurrency and businesses operating with cryptocurrencies to prevent financial crimes like money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud, etc.

Complying with cryptocurrency AML regulations

In short, these regulations require companies to comply with specific rules. For example, in some jurisdictions, companies must register with their local regulator and prove the effectiveness of their anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) processes. Also, another requirement could be the reporting of suspicious activity to the regulator. Depending on the jurisdiction, companies must file suspicious activity reports (SARs) or suspicious transaction reports (STRs) with their regulator. The aim is to report any activity suspected to be linked with money laundering, terrorism financing, or fraud, for instance.

Consequently, companies must be able to provide regulators with sufficient proof of these suspicious activities. We have seen that our KYA KYT reports are very useful for this. They give compliance officers insightful data on a cryptocurrency address or transaction, which they can use in the reporting process.

Monitoring cryptocurrency addresses and transactions

Also, the reports are very useful for archiving data and sharing specific information regarding an address or a transaction.

All our report features, including KYA and KYT reports, balance/transaction history, and incoming/outgoing scoring for each address/entity, help compliance teams in their daily work, including accounts monitoring, for example.

5 reasons why our customers love our KYA KYT reports:

Easy-to-understand

First, our new KYA KYT reports are now more comprehensible and easier to read, thanks to a simpler design. Users can easily grasp any piece of information they might need quickly.

Fast generation

Second, the reports are still generating very rapidly. Users just have to click on a button, and the report is ready within 30 seconds!

Detailed information

Then, we had to rethink the information that the reports should display. Consequently, the KYA KYT reports are now more comprehensive with insightful data on cryptocurrency addresses and transactions such as:

• Financial data
• Risk indicators and risk scoring
• Detailed risk scoring on the origin and destination of funds, etc.

Appendices for a better understanding

Also, our KYA KYT reports now feature different appendices to help users better understand important information. For example, they can find information on:

• custom and default risk indicators and scoring,
• information on entities from the Entity Directory or
• a glossary to understand all of the terms used within the report.

KYA KYT reports for all blockchains

Finally, Scorechain’s KYA and KYT reports are available for all supported blockchains. Today, the solution supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, XRP Ledger, Tezos, and Tron.

However, complying with cryptocurrency AML regulation requires more processes from companies. Scorechain Blockchain Analytics suite provides compliance teams with all the necessary tools to adopt a risk-based approach to cryptocurrency transaction monitoring.
