Thetaray CEO: Cross-chain compliance is the hidden AML blind spot in the crypto space

CoinNetwork
CoinWorld News reported that Thetaray CEO Brad Levy said that the cross-chain compliance gap is the most dangerous anti-money-laundering (AML) blind spot in the crypto industry. When compliance teams monitor crypto transactions, once assets cross a blockchain bridge, they lose the ability to track them. Levy pointed out that in 2026, real transaction volume is continuing to grow through these routes, putting traditional banks in a frontier that their AML systems were never built to handle. TRM Labs records show that in 2026, most illegal actors transferred assets via bridges and privacy tools within minutes. Thetaray’s AI system can monitor individuals’ behavioral fingerprints across two worlds, and it recently flagged a UK retail client who received more than £134,000 without being identified and made multiple crypto purchases. Levy emphasized that AML will become the main enforcement axis in the crypto sector in 2026, with fines exceeding $900 million in the first half of 2025.

Bridging asset tracking is indeed a longstanding challenge, and traditional AML can't keep up.

The combo of privacy tools and bridges is simply a nightmare for regulators.

Thetaray's AI solution might be a necessity, not just a gimmick.

The bank's AML system architecture still follows Web2 thinking and needs to be rebuilt.

Cross-chain = a hotbed for money laundering, this statement may sound harsh but is true

Finished washing in a few minutes, traditional risk control still uses hour-level delays
