AnonTrade Desk
AnonTrade Desk · Exchange with weak or absent KYC · anontrade · synthetic attribution
AnonTrade Desk scores 8.4 of 10 (prohibited risk) as a counterparty, driven mainly by registration and licensing (41.5% of the score). It is unlicensed in British Virgin Islands, and applies weak identity checks. It does not transmit originator information, so a Travel Rule request against a transfer to it cannot be satisfied. Operational footprint covers Curacao, United States, British Virgin Islands.
Due-diligence pillars
Four pillars are scored 0-10 and combined with fixed weights (licensing 35%, jurisdiction 25%, kyc_aml 30%, operational 10%). The result is on the same 0-10 scale as a wallet score so the two can be compared, but it measures the counterparty's controls, not its transaction history.
- No licence or registration identified in any supervisory regime. (+9.0)
- Operates in scope of MiCA without an authorisation under it. (+1.0)
- Incorporated in British Virgin Islands, which carries a jurisdiction risk of 5 of 10 in this model. (+5.0)
- The jurisdiction is an offshore secrecy centre, so beneficial ownership may not be discoverable. (+1.5)
- Identity checks are partial and can be circumvented. The verification threshold is $10,000. (+7.0)
- No transaction monitoring programme was identified. (+5.0)
- Originator and beneficiary information is not transmitted with transfers, so a Travel Rule request cannot be satisfied. (+3.0)
- Customers and counterparties are not screened against sanctions lists. (+2.0)
- Source of funds is not evidenced for large deposits. (+1.0)
- Holds customer funds, so it is the party a Travel Rule request or a freeze order is served on. (0.0)
- Only 1 address(es) are attributed to this entity, so its on-chain behaviour is barely observable and exposure to it may be under-counted. (+1.0)
