Cost of Manual Work — Crypto and Web3

See what repetitive manual work is costing Crypto and Web3 teams each year — where regulatory uncertainty is the binding constraint — the SEC, CFTC, OCC, NYDFS, FinCEN, and 50 state money-transmitter regimes each have a different theory of the firm's business and the legal-ops team is permanently in triage mode.

What this means for Crypto and Web3

  • Regulatory uncertainty is the binding constraint — the SEC, CFTC, OCC, NYDFS, FinCEN, and 50 state money-transmitter regimes each have a different theory of the firm's business and the legal-ops team is permanently in triage mode.
  • Custody operations are an existential risk — every cold storage workflow, key ceremony, and signing process is one operational mistake away from an incident that ends the company, and the controls maturity hasn't caught up to the asset value under management.
  • Compliance scaling broke the operating model — the KYC, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and travel rule compliance work that was manual at $1B in volume is impossible at $100B and the headcount math doesn't work.

Where it pays to act

  • AI-driven transaction monitoring and chain analytics — anomaly detection, ring-attribution, and risk-scoring on on-chain activity that catches the patterns rules-based TM systems miss.
  • Compliance and KYC automation — document processing, identity verification, sanctions screening, and adverse media review automation that scales linearly with volume rather than headcount.
