Crypto Transaction Monitoring Rules Library
Built for how crypto actually moves, not borrowed from banking. Every rule traces to a published regulator red flag.
Crypto transaction monitoring rules built for crypto, not borrowed from banking
Crypto transaction monitoring rules only work when they are built for crypto. Traditional rules were built for fiat flows: wires, card payments, and cash thresholds. They were never designed for mixers, privacy coins, cross-chain bridges, or self-hosted wallets. Bolt those old rules onto crypto and the gaps show. The behaviour that matters most slips straight through.
You cannot retrofit your way to crypto coverage. A rule written for a bank transfer does not see a chain hop or a tumbler. This library is the other path: rules built for crypto, each anchored to a published red flag. When a supervisor asks where a rule comes from, the thread to its source stays clear.
Supervisors are tightening across the board. In the EU, the new AMLA now holds the central anti-money-laundering mandate. It will directly supervise the highest-risk firms from 2028. Penalties already run into the millions. The direction is global, not only European.
The strongest monitoring is not borrowed, but designed and built purposefully. Full regulatory traceability makes it more powerful.
What these crypto transaction monitoring rules give you
The Library is built in three simple layers. Each layer adds confidence, and none of it is a black box.
Published red flags
We start from the warning signs that FATF, FinCEN, the EBA, and the UK FCA publish. These are the facts every rule rests on.
Single-purpose rules
Each red flag becomes a clear rule, with one plain condition. One rule, one signal, easy to read.
Higher-confidence patterns
We combine those rules into stronger patterns. Together, they spot the laundering pathways that a single rule can miss.
Because every rule traces to a published source, you can show complete coverage of those red flags. You get the full picture, not a sample.
What you receive
You receive a working library, not a slide deck. Everything is ready to share with your implementation team.
The full rules library
Every rule, with the behaviour it detects and the condition that triggers it. Clear enough to implement straight away.
Full regulatory traceability
Each rule links to the published red flag behind it. The line from regulator to rule stays visible throughout.
Configurable thresholds
Rules are provided with sensible example settings, named and easy to adjust. You tune them to your own data before going live.
Built to be tuned
The example settings are a starting point, not a finished configuration. Calibrate them to your own data before production use. We can help with that tuning if you would like.
Where it fits
The crypto transaction monitoring rules library sits in the middle of a simple path. First, our CASP MiCA Readiness Assessment shows where your gaps are. Then the Library helps you close the transaction monitoring gap. Finally, bespoke work tunes the rules to your own systems.
Indicative pricing
Fees for Class 1 firms start at £7,500. For Class 2 and Class 3 firms, fees run from £15,000 to £24,000. The point in that range reflects your scope and complexity. If you have completed a CASP Readiness Assessment with us, part of that fee is credited. We confirm your scope and fee in the preview, with no obligation. All fees are exclusive of VAT.
Why Argus Pro
Argus Pro is led by senior practitioners who have sat on both sides of a regulatory file.
As Principal Investigator, Vinay liaised with international law enforcement and regulators while leading a team of 120 consultants in the world's largest cross-border forensic investigation into an investment bank suspected of complicity in tax evasion. The investigation culminated in a $2.6bn fine for the bank.
Vinay's experience also includes helping a bank obtain a UK banking licence by demonstrating the maturity and effectiveness of appropriate controls.
Currently, Vinay is helping a large bank obtain authorisation for its crypto solution in the UK.
Our approach puts the regulation first. For example, for a global RegTech client seeking a global approach to crypto transaction monitoring, we built a 254-rule transaction-monitoring library anchored to FATF Recommendations, LRG from other key issuing bodies, and FATF, FinCEN, and EBA red flags.
Preview before purchase: see the crypto transaction monitoring rules library
This is not a tick-box purchase, so we are not hiding it behind a form. We will show you the library first, in a short preview. You will be able to see the rules, the sources, and how everything fits together. If it is right for you, deeper details are unlocked upon purchase.
