Crypto companies have tightened compliance, but gaps remain: Chainalysis

Chainalysis reports that while cryptocurrency industry compliance standards have matured significantly, gaps in indirect fund monitoring persist compared to legacy finance.Summary
A new Chainalysis report reveals that 47% of crypto organizations launched in 2026 employ compliance standards that would have ranked in the top 10% of strictness in 2020. This indicates a rapid maturation of the ecosystem in response to regulatory pressures and evolving threats. However, while direct monitoring of illicit funds has improved, a significant gap remains regarding indirect monitoring, where funds pass through intermediary addresses. Legacy financial institutions still maintain more rigorous threshold settings for indirect exposure, suggesting that the crypto industry must further professionalize its risk management to match the standards of traditional finance.
