NFT Marketplace
A platform for buying and selling non-fungible tokens representing distinct assets; marketplace use alone does not imply illicit activity.
What does it mean?
Low-risk category group
A platform for buying and selling non-fungible tokens representing distinct assets; marketplace use alone does not imply illicit activity.
The 14 categories in the AML4Tracker risk methodology, explained with documented examples. The groups below describe that taxonomy; they are not universal legal classifications or the numerical bands of a live report. Availability depends on the report and data provider.
How is this concept used?
An NFT marketplace facilitates trades in non-fungible tokens. The token contract, item, trade and associated rights require separate checks; token ownership does not automatically confer copyright or authenticate the represented item.

OpenSea: documented NFT trading

Documented example
Blur: marketplace ecosystem
Blur Foundation's documentation identifies the Blur marketplace and aggregators as parts of its ecosystem, alongside the Blend lending protocol. This is a neutral example of marketplace infrastructure; naming the platform is not an accusation that it or its users committed crimes.

Connection to a wallet report
Read the sale transaction and marketplace attribution. A purchase price or marketplace interaction alone does not establish money laundering or the identity of every participant.
A common misconception
An NFT transaction is not automatically illicit, and buying a token does not necessarily transfer rights to the underlying work.
