Trybit Announces Pre-Credit AML Screening for Businesses Accepting Crypto Payments
PANAMA CITY, Panama, October 27th, 2026, Chainwire
The screening process checks incoming crypto transactions before funds are credited to business balances, helping companies identify potentially suspicious inflows at an earlier stage.
Trybit has introduced a pre-credit AML/KYT screening process designed to help businesses accepting cryptocurrency payments identify potentially risky transactions before funds reach their balances. By screening incoming payments in advance, the service aims to reduce the risk of subsequently frozen assets or restrictions on exchange accounts.
Crypto Asset Freezes are a Growing Risk for Businesses
Stablecoin issuers and crypto exchanges are actively identifying and blocking funds linked to illicit activity. According to on-chain analytics firm BlockSec, Tether has frozen about $5.17 billion in USDT across 9,856 addresses since 2017. Only about 11.6% of that amount was later unfrozen. In the 30 days to May 8, 2026, Tether blacklisted 370 addresses holding $514.64 million in USDT.
Oversight of suspicious funds is also tightening. The T3 Financial Crime Unit, a joint initiative of Tether, TRON and TRM Labs, reported that since its launch in 2024 it has helped freeze more than $450 million in illicit crypto assets. In 2025, the unit intercepted 43.9% more illicit funds than a year earlier, working with law enforcement agencies in 23 jurisdictions.
Stablecoins are under particular scrutiny. According to Chainalysis, addresses linked to illicit activity received at least $154 billion in crypto assets in 2025, with stablecoins accounting for 84% of identified illicit transaction volume. Illicit activity still makes up less than 1% of total on-chain transaction volume.
For businesses, the problem is not only the scale of illicit activity but also the difficulty of checking every payment. Companies that accept thousands of crypto payments from customers in different countries cannot manually trace the origin of each one. Without automated screening, a suspicious transaction can go unnoticed when the payment is accepted and cause problems later, for example when the funds are moved to an exchange.
Understanding The Importance of Source of Funds in Crypto Payments
A problem with a payment may surface later, when a business moves its revenue to an exchange. If the exchange finds suspicious links in the coins’ history, it asks for explanations and restricts the account until the review is complete. During that time, the business loses access to part of its revenue, and payouts are delayed.
In August 2026, a wave of small USDT transfers from an address labeled HTX reached deposit addresses at major exchanges. According to HTX, the largest balance frozen in connection with the incident was $4.2 million on Kraken.
Funds with a suspicious history can trigger reviews and restrictions even if the business itself has no connection to illicit activity. AML/KYT screening flags risky inflows before they are credited to the balance, before the problem reaches an exchange.
How Trybit Reduces the Risk
- Every incoming transaction is screened. AML/KYT screening runs automatically on the gateway side when a payment arrives. Businesses do not need to change anything in their checkout.
- Suspicious funds are not credited. High-risk payments are rejected and never reach the balance. This lowers the chance that “dirty” funds end up in revenue and later lead to a freeze at an exchange.
- Stored funds are protected. Funds are held in cold wallets. Withdrawals are only possible to trusted addresses confirmed with 2FA, so a stolen password alone is not enough to move the money.
- Predictable revenue. Incoming payments can be automatically converted into USDT, USDC and other stablecoins the moment they arrive.
Screening is based on risk assessment and cannot filter out every problematic transaction. Its purpose is to reduce risk at the point of entry, before funds become part of revenue.
In Trybit’s experience, a business that accepts crypto at high volume rarely worries about the payment itself — the real question is what happens to those funds a week later, when revenue is moved to an exchange. That is why the gateway screens every incoming transaction before it is credited: clients can withdraw and convert their revenue with more confidence. Over more than five years of operation, the company has seen that for these businesses an uninterrupted flow of funds matters as much as fees.
