Unit21, the leading AI Risk Infrastructure platform for fraud prevention and AML monitoring, announced a partnership with TRM Labs, the leading blockchain intelligence platform. The integration brings TRM's blockchain intelligence into Unit21 in two ways: TRM Transaction Monitoring alerts flow into Unit21 for investigation and reporting, and TRM Wallet Screening data feeds Unit21's self-service rules engine. Mutual customers can now detect, investigate, and act on crypto risk alongside fiat in a single system.

The integration closes a gap that crypto and fintech compliance teams have long bridged with brittle, self-built pipelines. With this partnership, TRM's risk intelligence becomes native to Unit21: risk attribution, crypto-related alerts, entity associations, and screening results flow directly onto the records that compliance teams already work from, where they can be used as inputs to detection rules and surfaced in investigations.

The partnership provides a two-way value exchange across both customer bases.

• For organizations using TRM, the integration brings best-in-class blockchain intelligence into a modern, AI-native compliance platform, unifying detection, case management, and regulatory filing in one place, instead of stitching screening, monitoring, and filing tools together.
• For Unit21's crypto and fintech customers, the integration delivers TRM's on-chain risk intelligence. Wallet screening results and risk scores are available as input into rule conditions and as investigations context, with no custom data pipeline to build or maintain. In addition, TRM delivers transaction monitoring alerts directly within Unit21, allowing crypto-related alerts to flow into the same case management workflow as fiat cases and investigators manage both in one unified queue.

Together, the companies are pairing two best-of-breed layers of the modern compliance stack: TRM's depth in on-chain risk intelligence and Unit21's AI Agents and flexible detection platform. The result is a single, defensible workflow from a wallet's risk signal to a deployed rule to an investigated case to a filed report.

"Financial crime doesn't respect payment rails. The infrastructure built to stop it shouldn't either. Compliance teams working crypto risk in one system and fiat in another have a gap—and gaps are where real activity gets missed,” said Kunal Datta, Chief Product Officer, Unit21. “This integration makes TRM's blockchain intelligence native to Unit21's AI Agents, rules, and investigation workflows, so the system can work the full picture end-to-end: from the first on-chain signal to the filed report."

How it works. The integration enriches wallet and instrument data with TRM's wallet screening API at the point of monitoring. TRM risk fields, including risk level, risk indicators and categories, transaction volume, and entity associations, are written natively to the records compliance teams investigate and made available as conditions in Unit21's flexible rules engine. Customers can leverage their existing partnership with TRM Labs to bring a full picture of fraud risk into Unit21. TRM alerts can also flow into Unit21, giving investigators a consolidated view of on-chain risk alongside off-chain detection and case management.

“Unit21's customers are on the front lines of keeping the financial system safe,” said Adam Williams, VP of Product, TRM Labs. “We're proud to support them with defensible attribution on over 3.1 billion addresses across granular risk categories, giving their teams the on-chain insights to confidently identify and act on crypto risk.”

Continued investment. With post-transaction wallet monitoring now available, next on the horizon is real-time wallet screening on transactions. Providing joint customers with more high-confidence signals to accelerate action across their compliance programs.
