ChainUp, a global leader in digital asset solutions, has been awarded the Best KYT/Transaction Monitoring Solution at the 8th Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2025, held on November 19, 2025.

This marks the second major regtech award for ChainUp's crypto tracing tool in 2025, following a win at the Thomson Reuters ALB Pan-Asian Regulatory Awards. The dual recognition underscores ChainUp's role in providing essential compliance tools as the digital asset industry matures under increasing regulatory scrutiny.

The award highlights solutions that excel in monitoring digital asset transactions for illicit activities, with judges prioritizing speed, accuracy, data comprehensiveness, and innovative features. ChainUp's tool was praised for its ability to go beyond basic rule-based checks, featuring an Address Bundling capability that addresses complex illicit finance typologies.

The awards panel stated: "ChainUp’s crypto monitoring solution excels because it addresses the core challenge of the industry’s maturation: the need for institutional-grade transparency and accountability."

Sailor Zhong, Founder & CEO of ChainUp, commented: "The digital asset industry has crossed into a crucial, regulated phase. This award is a powerful validation that compliance technology is the new foundational infrastructure."

The context for this innovation is driven by the rise of regulated products like Spot Bitcoin ETFs and real-world asset tokenization, which require robust anti-money laundering (AML) compliance standards such as MiCA and DAC8.
