Directory of blockchain analytics vendors for crypto compliance
The AI FinTech Index holds 11 of them, each graded on the same 15 capability axes from public sources, with the artifact every grade was read from attached to the record.
No vendor pays for inclusion, placement or rating. Counts generated 2026-10-20 across 610 indexed vendors. What moved is in the change log.
Attribution is the product. Ask how an address is tied to a real world entity, how often that attribution is revised, and what the vendor publishes about false attribution, because the consequence of a wrong one lands on a customer who cannot see it.
What is in this directory. Screened to vendors that read the chain itself. Selling to crypto businesses is not the same as reading the chain, and vendors that only do the former are excluded.
Part of the wider AML, KYC & Financial Crime category.
What the public record shows in this directory
The share of the 11 indexed vendors here whose public record answers each of the nine regulatory questions a financial institution diligence process works through, and where this directory ranks against the other 50 directories in the index on the same question, highest share first. A thin share means the public record is thin, not that a control is absent.
The AI FinTech Index lists 11 blockchain analytics vendors for crypto compliance, graded on 15 capability axes from public sources with no paid placement and no aggregate score. Across this directory the best documented part of the public record is regulatory status and licensure at 73 percent, and the thinnest is AI governance and bias testing at 0 percent, which is 41 highest of 50 directories in the index on that question. Across the whole index of 610 vendors, none documents all nine regulatory axes in public and the average documents 3.61.

AMLBot
AMLBot is a crypto compliance company founded in 2019 by chief executive Slava Demchuk, operating through Safelement Limited in Hong Kong and Safe3 UAB in Vilnius, Lithuania, and selling to crypto businesses that cannot staff a full compliance function. The platform covers know your transaction monitoring and wallet screening, customer and business identity verification spanning more than 4,000 document types across 240 countries with face and liveness checks, sanctions and politically exposed person screening and ultimate beneficial owner verification, and an investigation product called Tracer that traces flows across blockchains, bridges and swaps, with a newer AI Tracer for AI assisted fund tracing. Behavioral alerts detect structuring and threshold evasion across multiple transactions. Asset recovery support, training and consulting on licenses and anti money laundering procedures sit alongside the software. The company states that its risk score is the average of conditional risk scores attached to on chain links from a screened address, drawn from three data sources it does not name. It states that it does not clean funds and does not guarantee that screened deposits will never trigger an exchange hold. It contributes to Bybit's LazarusBounty program, works with law enforcement agencies in India, Thailand, Georgia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and names BTSE, ChangeNow, Simple Swap, Kolo, Trustee, Railgun, Defiway and Banana Gun among its customers. It states ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certification and publishes a user agreement and a privacy policy that reaches its screening and verification services.

Caudena
Caudena sells blockchain analytics for crypto investigations and compliance to law enforcement agencies, financial institutions and crypto exchanges. Prism, its investigation tool, traces funds across chains, including privacy coins such as Monero and Dash. It demixes major mixers, detects cross chain swaps, fingerprints wallets through changes in ownership and decodes smart contract interactions, drawing on an off chain dataset of more than 400 terabytes spanning over a decade of cybercrime. Since June 2026 it also covers swaps through Wagyu Bridge, including routes involving Monero. The compliance workspace, built on large language models, adds continuous transaction monitoring, a no code rules engine, investigation graphs, and AI drafted incident summaries and suspicious activity report narratives. A decentralized finance offering adds cross chain visibility, configurable risk alerts and counterparty due diligence. AI runs through both products. Caudena added AI graph summaries in 2023 and suspicious activity report narrative drafts in January 2024, then moved to agents that run its forensic tools themselves. Agents write case summaries in place of manual report writing, and a Model Context Protocol server, Prism MCP, lets an investigator's own agent, such as Claude, run traces and risk checks on Caudena's data and return a narrative tied to specific transaction hashes. The agents run on BeamWeaver, an agent framework Caudena built and released as open source in June 2026. Caudena Academy runs an advanced course for public sector investigators on mixers, privacy coins and cross chain tracing, with access reviewed before enrollment. The company has offices in New York, in Agios Athanasios, Cyprus, and in Nice, France.

Crystal Intelligence
Crystal Intelligence is a blockchain analytics and compliance platform operated by Crystal Blockchain B.V. of Amsterdam, begun inside the Bitfury Group in 2015 and released publicly on 30 January 2018. It describes itself as a decision intelligence platform for digital assets combining blockchain analytics, AI and verified attribution. The flagship product, Crystal Expert, covers more than 330 blockchains and combines automated address clustering with human verified attribution across more than 118,000 attributed entities and more than 210 million verified transfers. Around it sit Crystal for Compliance for screening and transaction monitoring, Crystal for Investigators for case work and court ready evidence exports, Crystal Foresight for stablecoin market intelligence, and Ask Crystal, an AI analyst that returns a plain language summary of risks and evidence. For agentic payments it pitches the same attribution with policy guardrails for autonomous payment flows.

Nominis
Nominis argues that the established blockchain analytics firms were built for law enforcement and forensic casework, and that virtual asset service providers inherited tools shaped for a different job, with complexity, cost and integration timelines they did not need. Its answer is a platform combining wallet screening, know your transaction monitoring, forensic tools, an AsKYT assistant and intelligence as a service, with a custom risk policy builder so an institution writes its own logic. It fuses on chain activity with open source, dark web, human and behavioral intelligence and geolocation signals, covers more than 70 blockchains and more than 2 billion labeled wallet addresses, adds more than a million addresses a day, and states screening responses under 500 milliseconds so a risky flow can be blocked before settlement. Its distinguishing asset is a curated attribution database of wallets linked to terror financing, covering state sponsored actors, proxy entities, facilitators and brokers, and it reports flagging a Hamas linked fundraising wallet six months before an OFAC designation. The company states it has exclusively flagged $10 billion in illicit crypto. It quotes Depasify's chief executive and the founder of AML Incubator, and shows Orbital, Inca Digital, CFX Labs, Sumsub and Bits of Gold as partners. Operating as Xplorisk Ltd, Nominis was founded in June 2023 by Snir Levi in Tel Aviv, with backing from Hyperwise Ventures and Mastercard, whose accelerator program it joined.

Common questions
Is there a directory of blockchain analytics vendors for crypto compliance?
Yes. The AI FinTech Index lists 11 blockchain analytics vendors for crypto compliance, each graded on the same 15 capability axes from public sources, with the artifact every grade was read from attached to the record. No vendor pays for inclusion, placement or rating, no vendor is contacted before it is listed, and nothing sits behind a form. Counts generated 2026-10-20.
What counts as blockchain analytics for financial crime in this directory?
Screened to vendors that read the chain itself. Selling to crypto businesses is not the same as reading the chain, and vendors that only do the former are excluded. The index holds 11 vendors meeting that screen, drawn from a wider AML, KYC & Financial Crime category and from adjacent categories where the vendor belongs on the same shortlist. A vendor filed under a different category can still appear here, because a buyer building this shortlist does not sort by our filing.
What should a buyer check before shortlisting blockchain analytics for financial crime vendors?
Start with what this segment does not publish. Across the 11 indexed vendors, the thinnest parts of the public record are AI governance and bias testing at 0 percent, liability and customer recourse at 18 percent, and deployment model and data residency at 27 percent. A thin public record predicts the length of a diligence process rather than the absence of a control, so these are the questions to put in writing early. Attribution is the product. Ask how an address is tied to a real world entity, how often that attribution is revised, and what the vendor publishes about false attribution, because the consequence of a wrong one lands on a customer who cannot see it.
