What is the Travel Rule in crypto and who should be aware?

In simplest words: when a regulated crypto business sends crypto to another regulated crypto business, information about the sender and receiver has to travel alongside the transfer. It is shared between the businesses, not written onto the blockchain.

Not every country applies this in exactly the same way, but in practice, the information usually covers:
- Who sent the funds
- Who receives them
- Which regulated crypto businesses are involved
- Which wallet addresses are connected to the transfer

This is not a new idea: traditional finance has had similar rules for years.
But in crypto, there's a practical complexity.

Crypto transfers do not move inside a banking system.

Funds can move from an exchange to a wallet, then to another wallet, then through a bridge, then through a DEX, then to another chain, and then to a completely new wallet.

And if the compliance team checks only names and documents, they may miss another crypto risk:

👉🏼 Where did the funds actually come from?

So, in practice, the Travel Rule fills the gap between what the blockchain shows and what a regulated business needs to know.

The blockchain shows that crypto moved from one address to another.

The Travel Rule adds the missing information around that transfer: who is sending, who is receiving, which regulated crypto businesses are involved, and which wallet addresses are connected to the transfer.

Who should comply with the travel rule?

First of all, VASPs:
- Crypto exchanges
- Crypto payment providers
- Custodial wallets
- Crypto brokers
- Other regulated crypto businesses that transfer crypto on behalf of customers.

For them, the Travel Rule means one very practical thing: crypto transfers may require not only wallet addresses, but more information that has to be collected, checked, stored, and shared with the other side of the transaction.

The obligation also applies when a VASP sends crypto to a self-hosted (unhosted) wallet, or receives crypto from one. The business still has to collect the required information, even when there is no other regulated party to share it with.

Сrypto-connected businesses should also understand it.

If you accept crypto payments, work with VASPs, receive client funds in crypto, or send crypto to partners, you may still feel the effect: more questions before transfers move, more checks from counterparties, and more cases where a transaction is delayed, reviewed, or rejected.

So, the simplest takeaway here is:

The Travel Rule is the requirement that makes basic sender and receiver information move together with crypto transfers.

And if your business touches regulated crypto flows, you should understand what information may be required before the transaction happens — not after the transfer is already stuck, delayed, or rejected.

Alpha AML SDK: bring crypto security to your business payment flow

We’re happy to announce the release of our Alpha AML SDK that will make wallet screening and risk controls easy to embed directly into your crypto payments.

Here’s how it works:

1. Your company can integrate the SDK into your checkout or payment flow.
2. When a customer pays in crypto, the transfer is automatically screened using Alpha AML on-chain analytics.
3. If the funds are clean, they move straight into your treasury wallet for verified crypto.
4. If the funds are risky, they stay isolated in the buffer wallet instead of contaminating treasury flows.

⚠️The important part: you as a company keep full control over the process. The keys and custody remain with the business.

The SDK is a connector between your customers’ incoming funds and your main crypto business account. It screens incoming payments and keeps your account clean. The SDK is powered by Alpha AML technology — risk scoring, pattern analysis, datasets, and advanced AML methodology.

What’s more, your customers don’t need to change the way they pay you.

You can connect Alpha AML SDK to payments coming from virtually anywhere:
• DeFi wallets (e.g., MetaMask);
• VASPs;
• standard transfers;
• centralized exchanges.

The SDK is open source. You can download it, follow the setup guide, and run it in your own environment.

What can raise your wallet’s AML risk score?

Blockchain AML systems don’t need a wallet holder’s name to assign risk. They watch patterns.

An unchecked transaction, a high-risk wallet several hops away, or dirty crypto traced to your wallet can leave you with an elevated risk score or even a blocked account.

So what can make your wallet look suspicious?

1. Use of high-risk intermediaries
Mixers, cross-chain routers, P2P marketplaces in grey jurisdictions – AML tools track known intermediaries with a history of abuse.

2. Repeated interaction with typical laundering paths
Laundering often follows a pattern, e.g.: chain A → mixer → chain B → low-liquidity token → bridge back. If a wallet appears in this path more than once, it may get flagged as suspicious.

3. Sudden spikes in volume
Unusual inflows or outflows, especially large ones that don’t match past behavior, trigger anomaly detection. Legit activity tends to have patterns, unlike laundering schemes.

4. Round-number transfers across chains
Transferring exactly 10,000 or 100,000 USDT through obscure bridges or DEXs is a classic laundering marker tied to intentional obfuscation.

And the riskiest one – because here, you may do nothing wrong yourself, except trust your business partners.

5. Links to flagged wallets

If your wallet interacts with one that’s already tied to scams, sanctions, or darknet activity – even several hops away – your risk score can be elevated.

Address poisoning. This type of scam is one of the hardest to notice.

It doesn’t exploit smart contracts or install malware. The attacker doesn’t even need your private keys. The scheme relies on a simple human error.

And the consequences can be brutal.

Recent examples:
• March 5, 2026. A wallet linked to the long-time crypto figure "sillytuna" sent about $24M to an attacker's address in a single transfer.

• December 20, 2025. One of the largest address poisoning losses to date: a crypto user lost $50M after first sending a small test transfer to the correct address (!!!).

What makes this scam dangerous is the psychology. It turns a routine workflow – copying from recent activity and checking only the visible characters – into a one-transfer loss.

Even if only 1 out of 200 attempts succeeds, that’s enough to make the economics work.

Here’s how address poisoning works and how to protect your crypto 🙌🏼

Black Rock has dumped the crypto market?

Over the past few months we have seen several sharp sell-offs in the crypto market.
The ordinary explanation is pretty simple — “market panic”. But looking at the data a bit closer, the picture might be more nuanced.

👉🏼 Between late January and early February, the market experienced multiple volatility waves:
- Jan 28–29
- Jan 30–31
- Feb 3–5

Around the same broader window, our on-chain analysts tracked a cluster of large institutional transfers linked to BlackRock.

According to on-chain monitoring, at least 20,000 BTC and 238,000 ETH ($2.2B) were moved to centralized exchanges. Several large transfers were directed to Coinbase Prime, a platform widely used for institutional ex*****on.

Moreover, on 5 February alone, one flagged transaction included 5,000 BTC and 27,000 ETH moved to Coinbase.

At the same time, US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows, including a day where BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded $373M in net redemptions.

Now, an important clarification:
Transfers to exchange infrastructure do not automatically mean selling.
However, the timing correlation is very interesting.

👉🏼 The flow of the potential dump looked like this:
Institutional flows → Crypto moved toward exchange liquidity → Volatility increases → Retail sentiment shifts to fear.

As a result — “Fear does the distribution”.

But zooming out, this pattern does not necessarily mean bearish sentiment for the industry.

Historically, periods like this mark the beginning of what many call a “crypto winter”, and paradoxically, those are often the healthiest phases of the cycle.

When the market cools down:
• Hype fades
• Short-term speculations disappear
• Weak projects move from the market

What remains are the teams that are actually building value for the industry.

Every cycle in crypto follows the same pattern: noise fades, fundamentals strengthen, and the real infrastructure quietly keeps evolving.

For those of us building inside the industry, these periods are not something to fear.

They are rather a big filter that defines the next cycle!
