The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has suggested a risk mark system based on proven for crypto-to-fiats off-ramps.
On its Wednesday Bis BulletinThe institution outlines “a approach to adherence to anti-money laundering for cryptoassets,” it is recommended that a compliance mark is assigned to crypto handling before they are exchanged for Fiat Currency.
“An AML compliance mark based on the possibility that a specific cryptoasset or balance unit is linked to the forbidden activity can be referred to at the points of banking system,” the state document. The score will be used to prevent the flow of forbidden funds and encourage a “duty of care” to participants in the crypto market.
Bis said that there Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Methods relying on trusted mediators have “limited effectiveness” in the crypto context. However, it adds that public history history in blockchain can provide important tools for compliance monitoring.
Stablecoins is the main vehicle for prohibited crypto flow
BIS says that, since 2022, Stablecoins has reached Bitcoin (Btc) “As owned by choosing criminals who use crypto.” The document cites reports of crypto forensics companies Chainalysis and TRM LABS It has been shown that up to 2024, Stablecoins will cost more than 63% of all prohibited transactions.

BIS AML compliance scores will refer to the outputs of the Bitcoin (UTXO) transaction or purses in the case of stablecoins. There will be risk thresholds that determine whether to allow or deny off-ramp requests. The institution recommends that crypto off-ramps should be responsible for respecting such a system.
“The imposition of a duty of taking care of these creatures will motivate them to prevent the acceptance or payment of covers coins, as the failure to follow can result in fines or other penalties.”

The proposal also noted that individuals with holders may face compliance requirements. BIS says that while users may have received rugged properties with good faith if compliance information is scarce, “such an argument is less persuasive if there are extensive and affordable service providers.”
BIS predicts that, in such a system, stable stablecoins can trade in a discount. Risk marks can also “accompany the token as it moves within the unauthorized blockchain – that – is the score on the UTXO or wallet itself.”
According to BIS, this will lead to a duty of care imposed on the users themselves, potentially influence the behavior of fully decentralized transactions.
