🏦 Admin keys, treasury, governance: where does decentralization end?
FATF’s DeFi report puts the focus on control:
➤ who holds admin keys;
➤ who can upgrade contracts;
➤ who dominates governance;
➤ who can restrict access or change protocol rules.
📇 132 of 143 jurisdictions still haven’t implemented FATF standards for qualifying DeFi arrangements.
US and UK regulators are focusing on the same boundary: does the protocol still have an identifiable point of control?
For AML/KYT, the DeFi label matters less than the powers behind the code.

🚨 Your exchange asks where the funds came from. Can you prove it?
When an account gets flagged, source-of-funds evidence can make all the difference.

⛏️ “Clean” BTC from Dirty Money: How Mining Can Conceal Illicit Funds
According to U.S. court filings, illicit funds allegedly financed Warp Data and Lubian. Warp Data alone received over $60M in just five months from a group-linked shell company.
🔍 The on-chain red flags:
➤ Only 30% of inflows to four Lubian-linked addresses were freshly mined BTC, versus the 80–90% range cited for typical mining addresses.
➤ Mining pool payouts moved through 22 addresses, while exchange funds went through 27. Both flows converged on a single address.
➤ Exchange transfers mirrored mining payouts in size and timing, making funds from other sources appear to be mining revenue.
⚠️ The AML blind spot: Genuine mining rewards can coexist with suspicious inflows. A “Mining” label doesn't prove the funds are clean.
The source of funds matters more than the label.
