AML research shows transaction vs actor-level scoring impacts investigation queues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper investigates the impact of granularity in graph-based anti-money laundering (AML) systems for blockchain networks. Researchers evaluated whether scoring suspicious activity at the transaction level or the actor address level affects the composition of investigation queues. Using the Elliptic++ Bitcoin dataset, they found that transaction-level projections led to significantly different investigation queues compared to address-level scoring, impacting the efficiency and focus of AML efforts.

    Do Transaction-Level and Actor-Level AML Queues Agree? An Empirical Evaluation of Granularity Effects on the Elliptic++ Graph

    arXiv:2604.23494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based anti-money laundering (AML) systems on blockchain networks can score suspicious activity at two granularity levels -- transactions or actor addresses -- yet compliance action is conducted per actor. This paper contribu…
