Anti-Money Laundering Policy

1. Introduction

Mistex is committed to preventing the use of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit activities. This AML Policy outlines the measures we take to detect and prevent abuse.

2. Risk-Based Approach

We employ automated risk-scoring systems that analyze transaction patterns without collecting personal data. Transactions flagged as high-risk may be delayed or refused.

3. Blockchain Analytics

We use on-chain analytics to identify funds originating from known illicit sources, including sanctioned addresses, darknet markets, and ransomware wallets. Deposits from such sources will be frozen and may be reported to relevant authorities.

4. Transaction Limits

To mitigate risk, Mistex enforces per-transaction and daily limits. These limits may vary by cryptocurrency and are displayed on the exchange interface.

5. Sanctioned Jurisdictions

Mistex does not knowingly provide services to users in sanctioned jurisdictions as defined by OFAC, the EU, and the UN Security Council.

6. Suspicious Activity

If a transaction is identified as suspicious, Mistex reserves the right to:

• Delay or cancel the transaction
• Request additional information
• Report the activity to law enforcement if legally required

7. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

While we maintain a strict no-logs policy, we will cooperate with valid legal requests from law enforcement agencies in accordance with applicable law. Any such cooperation is disclosed through our warrant canary.

8. Continuous Improvement

We regularly review and update our AML procedures to stay aligned with evolving regulatory frameworks and emerging threats.
