Pilots are easy to monitor. Running a market at institutional scale is not. As tokenized treasuries and RWAs move onto regulated balance sheets, compliance teams face more data than humans can review. That’s where AI monitoring tools come in. Our Head of Tokenization @cr00ster will discuss this at Merkle Meet 2026 Washington. 🗓 March 20 | 12:00–12:45 PM 🎤 Chris Russell, (@tZERO) joins @centrifuge, @a16z, @FINRA, and @MerkleScience. 🤝 If you're building the infrastructure that moves digital assets from pilots to production, reach out to us at sales@tzero.com. luma.com/iv043erv

🔎 Money mule networks rarely look suspicious at the transaction level and that is the problem. In a new case study, Merkle Science partnered with @StraitsX to analyze coordinated stablecoin withdrawals moving across multiple accounts before converging into consolidation wallets. Results: • 250+ consolidation wallets identified • 90%+ of flagged entities assessed as likely mule-linked • ~80% estimated reduction in manual investigation time Behavior-based analytics makes these patterns visible.

🕵️ A $7B fraud “dark market” has been uncovered. In an investigation by Nippon TV and @ICIJorg, scammers were found selling tools used in romance and investment scams. Merkle Science assisted by tracing stolen crypto from a Japanese victim through laundering wallets. The destination wallet had indirectly collected $450K+ from a Japanese crypto service, suggesting additional victims. Read the investigation 👉 ntv.co.jp/englishnews/ar…
