Best Practices for Institutions Handling Mixer Risk

checklist

Core idea

The operational controls an institution should run to manage mixer and tumbler exposure. Together they form a risk-based program for detection, escalation, and reporting.

Components

  • Implement real-time blockchain monitoring and alerts
  • Screen transactions against mixer and tumbler lists
  • Use a risk-based approach for customers and transactions
  • Conduct enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers
  • Monitor DeFi, cross-chain, and privacy coin activity
  • Train teams and stay updated on emerging risks
  • Collaborate with regulators and information-sharing networks

When to use

Use when designing or auditing a crypto compliance program, or when gap-testing existing controls against mixer risk.
