Placement
Typical severity: HIGH
High-Risk Exchange Adjacency
The transfer graph connects the wallet to a high-risk exchange cluster — typically one with weak or absent KYC.
Why it matters
High-risk exchange exposure increases the odds of freeze action or a counterparty review at the next hop, especially for issuer-controlled assets.
How we detect it
Trace the transfer graph and match counterparties against curated high-risk exchange labels, weighting severity by hop distance.
