Crypto AML vs Crypto Transaction Monitoring: what’s the difference and why you need both. AML checks where funds came from (backward-looking, fund origin screening). Transaction Monitoring predicts what a wallet will do next (forward-looking, behavioral prediction). AML cannot detect fraud committed with clean funds — the most common gap in crypto compliance. Regulatory basis: FATF Recommendations 10 & 16, MiCA Article 83, FinCEN BSA SAR requirements — both are mandatory for VASPs.
