TRM Labs and Sumsub Partner to Deliver a Unified View of Identity and On-Chain Risk to Combat Crypto Fraud and Financial Crime

Sumsub Crypto Monitoring, combined with TRM’s industry-leading blockchain intelligence, empowers compliance teams with a comprehensive customer profile to proactively detect and mitigate illicit crypto activity before transactions go on-chain

TRM Labs, a leading provider of blockchain intelligence solutions, announced a strategic integration with Sumsub, a global leader in verification. This new integration enables Sumsub users to leverage TRM’s risk intelligence to screen wallet addresses, score transactions, and review risk signals in real time – all in one dashboard in Sumsub’s Crypto Monitoring solution.

According to data from Chainabuse, TRM Lab’s open-source fraud reporting platform, reports of generative artificial intelligence (genAI)-enabled scams between May 2024 and April 2025 rose by 456%, compared with the same period in 2023-24. In addition, Sumsub’s data reveals a 48% increase in fraud across the crypto industry in 2024, now representing 2.2% of all verification attempts on global crypto platforms. This surge underscores the evolving threats faced by the sector and highlights the critical need for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to adopt advanced blockchain analytics, behavioral fraud detection, and continuous monitoring. Sumsub’s integration with TRM is critical in providing compliance teams with real-time risk intelligence to detect risk signals early – enabling fast decision-making to protect customers and stay compliant.

Key benefits of the integration include:

• Early risk detection: Proactively screen destination wallet addresses for fraud and financial crime risk to block high-risk withdrawals before transactions are executed. Screen prospective customer wallet addresses to identify potential high-risk exposure to illicit actors, darknet markets, or scams as in input to inform onboarding decisions.
• Advanced risk scoring: Assess risk based on exposure to threat categories and entity profiles – enhanced by TRM’s industry-leading attribution to detect crypto fraud and other suspicious activity early.
• Unified, real-time risk monitoring: Access a single dashboard view of identity and on-chain risk – enabling faster, data-driven compliance decisions.
• Automated compliance workflows: Define custom alert rules that streamline transaction monitoring and fraud prevention, reducing manual effort and reduce false positives.

Users can seamlessly connect existing TRM subscriptions to Sumsub’s platform via the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. This enables clients to use their own keys to manage and secure their data, ensuring full control over sensitive information while using Sumsub’s Crypto Monitoring.
