Which key type of information allows financial intelligence units to combat the risk of anonymity...

The most critical information enabling FIUs to address anonymity risks is data linking a virtual address to the real-world identity of its owner. Without this association, blockchain addresses remain pseudonymous, hindering effective AML efforts.

While transaction timing (A), identity of receiver (B), and transaction-to-address mapping (C) are useful, ownership linkage (D) is essential to break anonymity.

FATF and DFSA guidance prioritize obtaining ownership information through KYC and intelligence sharing.
