About This List
The BeInCrypto Research Division created this list for the 2026 BeInCrypto Institutional 100 Awards.
These companies build and maintain the systems that help enforce anti-money laundering regulations, comply with travel rules, screen for sanctions, verify identities, and analyze blockchain data worldwide.
Methodology
This section of the BeInCrypto 100 ranking assesses companies that provide compliance technology, using a specific evaluation process. The score is calculated as follows: 30% is based on measurable data, 50% comes from feedback from our expert Advisory Council, and the remaining 20% is based on data the companies have shared with us.
As an analyst, I evaluate potential investments using seven key criteria. I look closely at the strength of the underlying technology, how well it’s being adopted by customers, and whether it aligns with current regulations. I also consider the level of innovation, the maturity of its funding, how effective it is in practice, and its overall reputation within the industry.
We confirmed the data using official company reports, news announcements, government documents, and industry databases like PitchBook and Tracxn. All numbers are current as of the publication date, but are subject to change.
