[WIDTH @WidthGRC]

WIDTH is introducing DeFi Shield, lightweight compliance tooling for DeFi protocols with an operating team, mainly in trading and lending. It puts wallet risk screening (KYT), alerts, case review and an audit trail into one workflow, so that when a regulator asks, the team has evidence of reasonable steps and a complete record behind them.

Most DeFi users connect through self-custody wallets, leaving no identity data on file for conventional onboarding due diligence, while a team with control or sufficient influence over a protocol still carries the compliance obligations. Regulatory inquiries tend to centre on two points: whether the team acted on high-risk addresses, and whether it can show a record.

DeFi Shield addresses both. It screens the wallets that interact with a protocol through continuous monitoring and an optional pre-transaction API check, returning a risk level, a score, the rules triggered and a recommended action. Every alert and disposition goes into an append-only log that cannot be altered, with exportable address-level, case-level and periodic reports. AI drafts alert assessments, recommendations, report narratives and, where needed, suspicious transaction report text for compliance staff to review, and decisions such as freezing assets, suspending service or reporting to regulators stay with the team.

The 90-second product brief below shows how screening, the audit trail and reporting work.

🥂 The conversations didn't end when the Global Anti-Scam Summit Asia wrapped up.

Following @ScamAlliance Thailand in Bangkok, WIDTH brought together members of the compliance, risk and financial crime community for Signal Circle: Drinks on the Eleventh.

The evening offered an opportunity to step away from conference sessions, exchange perspectives and build connections with peers working across Thailand and the wider region.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening memorable. We look forward to bringing the Signal Circle community together again!

WIDTH was pleased to participate in the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) Summit Asia (@ScamAlliance Thailand) in Bangkok, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers and experts to discuss the evolving threat of scams and ways to strengthen cross-border collaboration.

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Chionh Chye Kit, joined the panel discussion “Tracing the Crypto: Disrupting the Financial Infrastructure of Scams”, sharing perspectives on how digital asset tracing and financial crime intelligence can help uncover illicit fund flows and disrupt scam operations.

As scams become increasingly sophisticated and cross-border in nature, effective responses require stronger collaboration, timely intelligence and the ability to follow the money across financial and digital asset ecosystems.

Thank you to @ScamAlliance for bringing the community together, and to the fellow panellists and participants for the valuable exchange of insights.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and working alongside the industry to build a safer digital financial ecosystem.

When fraud and scams go undetected, the impact goes far beyond financial losses. Customers lose their savings, institutions lose trust, and the communities that financial inclusion seeks to serve are left vulnerable.

As a participant of the Responsible Finance Forum (RFF) 2026 convened by Center for Financial Inclusion (@CFI_Accion ) with host partner Global Finance & Technology Network (@gftn_official), WIDTH is looking forward to joining conversations on how the financial services industry can strengthen fraud prevention and client protection in an increasingly digital and AI-driven landscape.

This Friday, 13 November, our CEO and Co-Founder, Chionh Chye Kit , will join an expert panel for an invitation-only lunch session:
Who Pays for Fraud? The Growing Challenge and Opportunity for Fintech Investors and Operators
The discussion brings together perspectives from across law enforcement, financial technology and client protection:
🔹 Muhammad Arrafi Ali, Criminal Intelligence Officer, @Interpol
🔹 Julia Chin 陈碧茹, Founder, @J4thSolutions
Moderated by Eelee Lua, Co-founder, https://t.co/aoNokVBkYd.

The session will explore how organisations identify, monitor and respond to fraud and scam risks, where gaps in investment and capabilities remain, and how investors and industry operators can help drive more effective client protection.

Under this year's theme, “Balancing Innovation and Impact: Advancing Financial Health in the Age of AI and Digital Innovation”, RFF 2026 brings together global leaders to examine how innovation can support financial health while keeping trust and consumer protection at its centre.

We look forward to contributing to the discussion and connecting with fellow industry leaders in Singapore.

WIDTH has partnered with Staple, a Singapore-based document AI company, to bring Staple's document AI into WIDTH's onboarding flow.

Supporting documents such as proof of address arrive as scans, photos and PDFs, in different layouts and languages. Staple's document AI reads them, extracts and verifies the relevant details, and links every field back to the original document, so analysts spend less time re-keying information by hand.

In WIDTH, these details sit in the same onboarding record as identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening and risk signals. Reviewers can check any field against its source, AI Reviewer cites the evidence behind each recommendation, and the compliance team makes the final decision with a clear audit trail.

Ben Stein, CEO of Staple AI, said the partnership "reflects a shared conviction that trust in compliance starts with trust in the underlying data." We look forward to working with the Staple team to bring this capability to financial institutions across Southeast Asia.

FinCEN 出手 MEXC：制裁风险向下游传导，接收方 VASP（虚拟资产服务提供商） 如何识别？

11 月 6 日，美国财政部下属金融犯罪执法网络（FinCEN）对加密货币交易平台 MEXC Global 采取限制措施。WIDTH DART 已第一时间收录此次监管行动，支持 MEXC 相关实体标签识别，帮助 VASP（虚拟资产服务提供商）识别资金路径中的相关风险。

一、DART 已支持 MEXC 风险标签识别
DART 结合实体标签、地址与交易路径分析提供风险判断，覆盖充值与提现两个环节：
充值： 通过 KYT 追溯资金来源。
提现： 在签名前筛查目标地址。

只要资金路径经过 MEXC，筛查结果会标明其所在跳数及涉及金额。跳数和风险阈值均可按平台自身的风险偏好配置，每次筛查自动留存快照，便于审计和问询应对。

以一次 Ethereum 地址筛查为例：

风险评分 100/100： 地址触发高风险判定，系统给出拦截建议。
标签识别： 识别出与 MEXC 相关的实体信息。
重点规则命中： 地址本身及其交易关系触发制裁及监管限制类重点规则。
交易路径分析： 展示风险暴露路径，标明命中跳数与涉及金额，为进一步调查提供依据。

需要强调的是，平台标签和历史交易关联属于风险识别线索，具体处置仍需结合适用的监管要求、客户背景及交易事实综合判断。

二、事件回顾

FinCEN 依据《打击俄罗斯洗钱法》第 9714(a) 条，将 MEXC Global 认定为"主要洗钱关注对象"，禁止美国金融机构处理任何涉及 MEXC Global 的资金转移。命令将在《联邦公报》刊登 30 天后生效。

根据美国财政部披露，2021 年 5 月至 2026 年 5 月期间，MEXC 涉及至少 160 亿美元与制裁规避、网络犯罪等非法活动相关的资金流动，主要包括：

近 15 亿美元与俄罗斯制裁规避相关，其中约 2.32 亿美元为与受制裁实体的直接交易；

与 40 多家伊朗数字货币交易所发生约 10 亿美元直接交易，另涉及伊朗中央银行及伊斯兰革命卫队相关交易约 2,200 万美元。

需要注意的是，这是 FinCEN 的资金转移禁令，而非 OFAC 制裁指定，也不改变金融机构在《银行保密法》和 OFAC 制裁项下的既有义务。

三、风险不只是一个平台事件

在高度互联的链上生态中，交易平台之间的资金往来十分频繁。根据第三方链上数据，截至 11 月 5 日的过去 30 天，已标记的 MEXC 地址与 Binance 之间存在持续的稳定币往来：MEXC 流向 Binance 约 5.129 亿美元，Binance 流向 MEXC 约 3.236 亿美元。

这组数据反映的是被识别地址之间的链上资金往来，并不等于平台全部提现金额，也不意味着任何一方存在违规。但它提示我们，资金接收方同样需要关注上游风险。

一笔直接来自受限平台的转账相对容易识别，真正的挑战在于那些"看起来干净"的资金。资金经过中间钱包、跨平台转账或多次拆分后，其与受限平台或受制裁实体的关联可能被层层隐藏，仅检查直接交易对手无法完整呈现风险暴露。

四、VASP （虚拟资产服务提供商）的应对建议

回溯排查： 梳理近期与 MEXC 相关地址之间的充提记录，评估往来规模。
更新规则： 将监管措施涉及的实体纳入重点监测，并关注 Garantex、Grinex、A7A5 及受制裁伊朗交易所等关联暴露。
覆盖多跳路径： 对经由中间地址转入的资金评估间接风险，而不仅是直接来源。
明确处置流程： 设置分级处置标准（放行、人工复核、拦截、上报），并完整留存判断依据。

----------------------------------------------------------

交易平台之间的资金流动，正在把风险识别的责任延伸到每一个资金接收方。看清资金的来源与路径，是 VASP 完善 AML/KYT 控制的关键一环。

合规是数字资产行业建立信任的基础。

@WidthGRC 愿意为 @MEXC 及其他交易平台提供专业支持，包括监管沟通、AML 与制裁合规评估、链上交易监控（KYT）及合规整改方案。

针对去中心化交易所（DEX），WIDTH 推出了 DeFi Shield，每月仅需 1,500 美元，即可获得一次专业合规咨询、KYT Workflow、合规留痕、监管报送支持，以及后续监管沟通支持。

很多金融机构以为购买一套 KYC 产品就实现了合规，但现实远比这复杂。

合规不仅需要识别客户，还包括持续交易监控、风险识别、合规留痕、监管报送，以及如何与监管机构进行专业、有效的沟通。

@WidthGRC 不只是卖一个合规工具，还帮助客户建立一套能够持续运行、经得起监管审查的体系。

🤝 WIDTH partners with @UPayOfficial_EN to strengthen on-chain risk analysis for digital asset payments.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with @UPayOfficial_EN , a digital asset payment platform offering wallet and payment card services to individuals and businesses.

Through this collaboration, @UPayOfficial_EN will use DART, WIDTH’s on-chain risk screening product, to support wallet address and transaction risk reviews across relevant business activities.

Combining wallet address screening (KYA) and transaction screening (KYT), DART helps teams identify risk associations, trace the sources and destinations of funds, and understand why an address or transaction has been flagged through risk scores, matched rules and transaction information.

As digital assets become increasingly connected to everyday payments, understanding on-chain fund risks is an important part of effective risk management. This partnership aims to make relevant risk information more accessible and actionable, supporting @UPayOfficial_EN review processes and independent risk assessments.

We look forward to working with @UPayOfficial_EN to support more informed risk management across digital asset payment services.

🔎 WIDTH Pulse | This Week in Compliance & Regulation

This week’s developments across Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, Thailand and the global digital asset market highlight a common theme: financial crime risks are becoming increasingly interconnected. From crypto tax transparency and authorised payment fraud to identity verification, regulatory impersonation and cyber-enabled theft, institutions need reliable data and effective controls across the entire risk lifecycle.

Across these developments, one message stands out: effective compliance requires more than collecting information at onboarding. Institutions must continuously verify identities and counterparties, monitor transactions and behaviour, and maintain controls that can respond to evolving threats.

Read this week's WIDTH Pulse for the key developments and their implications for compliance and risk management.
