Illicit crypto volume reached an all-time high of USD 158 billion in 2025, up nearly 145% from 2024, according to TRM's 2026 Crypto Crime Report. That pace puts pressure on every team responsible for knowing their counterparties, monitoring their portfolios, and tracing the origins of suspicious activity.
April's product releases address that pressure across the platform. From AI-powered entity context in Block Explorer to asset-level risk monitoring in TRM Know-Your-Asset, this month's updates give compliance teams and investigators sharper intelligence at the moments they need it most.
Ask questions about entities, right where you investigate
When a compliance analyst or investigator lands on a VASP entity page in Block Explorer, they often need context that goes beyond what's on screen — who controls this entity, what enforcement history exists, what sanctions exposure looks like.
Co-Case Agent now answers those questions directly in Block Explorer. A new AI chat interface on VASP entity pages lets users ask natural-language questions and receive answers in context without leaving the page. Co-Case Agent also supports inline feedback: investigators can rate each response to signal what's useful.
To use Co-Case Agent, the admin and investigator must both have AI features enabled in their environments.
Monitoring asset risk in TRM Know-Your-Asset
For teams managing crypto asset exposure, understanding risk scale — and documenting it — is as important as detecting it.
The new Asset Monitoring dashboard in TRM Know-Your-Asset consolidates the signals that matter: circulating supply, top entity balances, and recent severe risk transactions, all in a single view. Teams can export a PDF report covering all monitored assets — useful for internal reviews, regulatory reporting, and customer-facing documentation.
Asset Monitoring is available exclusively to customers with TRM Know-Your-Asset.
Tracing TRON smart contract origins
Understanding who deployed a smart contract on TRON — and through what structure — is a key question in TRON-based investigations. Factory patterns and nested deployments complicate that trace, because the deployer is not always the direct sender of the transaction.
A new TRON Smart Contract Deployer Signature® captures both direct and factory-pattern deployment events, including nested deployments. Deployer relationships surface automatically in Graph Visualizer, giving investigators a clear view of contract origins without manual reconstruction.
Precision alerting and portfolio management in Entity Monitoring
Risk score changes have long been the standard signal in Entity Monitoring. This month adds two new capabilities that sharpen how teams monitor and organize their portfolios.
New alerts trigger on high or severe risk volume changes for named and custom entities — not just risk score shifts. Risk volume can move before a score does, giving compliance teams and regulators an earlier and more granular signal. Teams configure alert rules specifying the entities, the risk volume threshold, and email subscription details.
Entity Monitoring also now supports free-form tags. Teams can label monitored entities by type, risk tier, customer segment, or any other criteria — and use those tags to filter and prioritize across large portfolios.
VASP due diligence data in Block Explorer
VASP licensing is a critical data point in counterparty due diligence. VASP entity pages now display regulatory license information directly in Block Explorer: license type, regulatory body, and status, visible from the entity profile. For compliance teams assessing a new counterparty, that context is one click away.\
Frequently asked questions
1. What is Co-Case Agent in Block Explorer?
Co-Case Agent is TRM's AI investigative assistant, now accessible directly on VASP entity pages in Block Explorer. Users can ask natural-language questions about an entity and receive answers in context. All outputs are tied to verifiable blockchain data. Co-Case Agent assists decision-making — it does not automate it. An admin must enable AI features in your environment before use.
2. What does the Asset Monitoring dashboard track?
The Asset Monitoring dashboard in TRM Know-Your-Asset surfaces circulating supply, top entity balances, and recent severe risk transactions for each monitored asset. Teams can export a PDF report covering all monitored assets. Asset Monitoring is available exclusively to customers with TRM Know-Your-Asset.
3. What is the TRON Smart Contract Deployer Signature?
It's a new Signature that identifies smart contract deployment events on TRON, including complex patterns such as factory-deployed and nested contracts. Deployer relationships surface automatically in Graph Visualizer, making it faster to trace the origin of a TRON smart contract.
4. How do Entity Monitoring's new risk volume alerts work?
New alert rules can be configured to trigger on changes in high or severe risk volume for named and custom entities — not just on risk score changes. This gives compliance teams an earlier and more granular signal. Teams define the entities, the risk volume threshold, and email subscription details when setting up an alert rule.
5. Where do I find VASP license information in Block Explorer?
Navigate to any VASP entity page in Block Explorer. The Licenses card on the left side of the page — under Key Events — displays license type, regulatory body, and status.
