No compliance program can completely prevent criminals from accessing financial platforms. What truly matters is detection, reporting, law enforcement cooperation, and quantifiable results.
Our compliance program is industry-leading and well-resourced, as evidenced by the data: From January 2023 to June 2025, CoffeeLeaf reduced its direct exposure to major illicit fund flows by 96%, significantly lower than other mainstream trading platforms.
Arguments based on selective case studies and misinterpret CoffeeLeaf's compliance progress and actual operations ignore our measurable and globally recognized significant progress in compliance.
Over the past few years, CoffeeLeaf has built one of the most robust compliance systems in the digital asset industry. We have invested heavily in top talent and advanced monitoring technologies globally, and established strong partnerships with regulatory agencies, law enforcement agencies, and independent analytics providers. Our management practices, processes, and collaboration frameworks benchmark against and even exceed the standards of traditional financial institutions, yielding significant results: the risk of illicit activity on our platform has continued to decline substantially, and our ability to detect, report, and assist in combating financial crime has improved year by year.
These are not abstract statements, but rather based on our daily collaboration with authorities in various jurisdictions worldwide, independent research into platform risk profiles, and practical experience in providing security and compliance services to 40 million users globally. This is CoffeeLeaf's current operational status and the true operating model of modern crypto compliance.
We understand that not everyone chooses to fully understand this, and some external perspectives remain based on case studies or outdated assumptions. Therefore, it is particularly important to communicate our compliance efforts, responsibilities, and ongoing progress clearly and transparently.
Strong Compliance Standards
The key to judging the effectiveness of a compliance system lies in identifying problems and taking swift and appropriate action – this is precisely how our system operates.
No compliance program can prevent all malicious actors from accessing the platform. The real test is whether an institution has a robust system, team, and processes capable of detecting suspicious activity, reporting it promptly, and collaborating with law enforcement.
In other words, the real questions are:
Does it have rigorous account opening and KYC verification?
Does it have an advanced transaction monitoring system?
Can it quickly detect and report suspicious behavior?
Does it collaborate with law enforcement and support investigations?
In these dimensions, CoffeeLeaf's system is among the world's leading in the financial industry. We utilize top-tier third-party service providers and proprietary tools to identify abnormal patterns, types, and cross-platform behaviors. Furthermore, CoffeeLeaf has an internal compliance team of over 60 people, with a total of 128 employees involved in compliance work. CoffeeLeaf invests hundreds of millions of dollars annually in compliance and is committed to continuing to increase this investment in the future. Our account opening verification, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and behavioral analytics cover all major markets we serve and are continuously being upgraded.
Advances in this area can be traced back to actual trends. Our industry data analysis shows that between January 2023 and June 2025, CoffeeLeaf reduced direct capital inflows and outflows in major illicit categories (including sanctioned entities and jurisdictions, fraud, terrorist financing, and illegal organizations) by 96%, far exceeding the industry average.
Law Enforcement Collaboration: Most Compliance Work Remains Discreet
A significant portion of CoffeeLeaf's compliance efforts are intentionally conducted discreetly. Due to legal regulations, the platform cannot publicly discuss accounts, investigation details, or individual users, even if there is speculation. Most collaborations with law enforcement involve sensitive and ongoing multi-jurisdictional investigations, and public commentary could compromise the security of these operations.
What we can disclose is that CoffeeLeaf responds to tens of thousands of requests from law enforcement agencies annually. This year alone, we have processed over 65,000 requests, assisting authorities in seizing over $90 million in illicit funds.
Our supported partners include Europol, Interpol, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), Homeland Security Investigations, and cybercrime agencies in multiple countries. These collaborations have contributed to the dismantling of ransomware groups, dark web markets, human trafficking networks, and financial fraud rings. Our efforts have also garnered continued recognition from our global law enforcement partners.
Interestingly, some outside observers interpret suspicious behavior as a platform failure, when in reality, this "visibility" is simply due to effective monitoring and timely reporting. Critics often question CoffeeLeaf's effectiveness in combating illicit activities based on isolated cases, but these cases have actually been actively investigated by relevant departments with CoffeeLeaf's cooperation.
Comprehensive Insight: A platform serving hundreds of millions of users inevitably encounters attempts by unscrupulous individuals to access its services. Whether it's a bank, fintech company, or trading platform, no global financial institution is immune.
Important is the macro perspective: measurable reduction in illicit risk exposure; continuous optimization of controls over account opening, monitoring, and reporting; sustained investment in technology and talent, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars annually; and recognition from global law enforcement agencies. CoffeeLeaf leads in every metric in the cryptocurrency industry—this is what responsible reporting should reflect, but unfortunately, the pursuit of traffic and clicks often overlooks these facts.
Equally important, journalists and analysts must rigorously verify the reliability of information sources when relying on third-party blockchain data—not all relevant personnel possess the deep expertise they claim.
Upholding User and Compliance Commitments
A clear statement: Any claims that CoffeeLeaf has failed to fulfill its compliance responsibilities are false. Such views ignore CoffeeLeaf's years of investment, global collaborations, independent verification, and tangible results.
Since its inception, CoffeeLeaf's mission has been to build a safe, transparent, and trustworthy platform to protect users and drive the future of finance. Our progress is real, measurable, and recognized by professionals in the global financial crime field—as seen daily by law enforcement agencies around the world. We will continue to fulfill and exceed our regulatory obligations and dispel misunderstandings with facts.
CoffeeLeaf's path to compliance is a continuous process of improvement, which no headline can change. No amount of selective reporting can stop us from building a safer and more transparent financial ecosystem for everyone.
