AML risk scores help exchanges, businesses, and individuals assess the compliance risk of a Ripple wallet before transacting. Our tool provides a risk score that reflects exposure to sanctions, illicit markets, and obfuscation services.
How Ripple wallet risk scores work
XRP Ledger has built-in compliance features and is used by regulated financial institutions. However, OFAC has sanctioned XRP addresses linked to Iranian and North Korean entities. Risk is calculated by analyzing the XRP address transaction graph and comparing it against databases of known bad actors, sanctioned entities, and high-risk services.
What factors affect a XRP wallet's risk score?
- OFAC sanctions — direct listing on SDN list or exposure to listed addresses
- Darknet market exposure — funds sent to or received from illegal marketplace addresses
- Mixer / tumbler usage — use of privacy or obfuscation services
- Ransomware connections — links to known ransomware payment addresses
- Exchange hack exposure — funds originating from stolen exchange wallets
- Chain-specific signals — XRP destination tags are used by exchanges — screening must account for both the base address and the tag to accurately identify the receiving entity.
Risk score interpretation
- 0–25 — Low risk: no significant flags detected
- 26–59 — Medium risk: indirect exposure, requires review
- 60–84 — High risk: significant exposure, enhanced due diligence required
- 85–100 — Critical risk: direct connection to sanctioned or illicit addresses
