The share of listings whose stated pay falls in each band. A range counts once, at its midpoint.
Compliance officers and analysts at crypto companies keep the business inside the rules it operates under: AML and KYC programs, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and financial crime work. This page is built from the pay employers stated in their own compliance listings here, with the sample size shown beside each figure.
Pay here follows regulatory weight more than headcount. Analysts reviewing alerts sit well below officers who own a program, and below anyone named personally on a license as an MLRO or equivalent responsible officer, since that carries personal liability. Jurisdiction sets the rest, so these roles usually pay the local market, not a global band.

How much does a crypto compliance officer make?
The median and the range above are taken from compliance listings on this board that stated pay, over the window printed beside them. Treat them as a starting point rather than a quote: the seniority split separates analyst work from program ownership, and roles at a licensed entity in a strict jurisdiction sit toward the upper end of the same range.
Do crypto compliance jobs pay more at licensed companies?
The employer breakdown on this page is where to check. Licensed exchanges, payment firms and custodians carry obligations an unregulated protocol does not, and those obligations tend to show up in what they pay. That is often part of why the distribution above spreads out. The listings below name the employer, so you can look up the license yourself.
How do I get into crypto compliance?
Employers ask for AML and KYC fundamentals plus something crypto-specific: blockchain analytics tools, travel rule handling, or experience with the regulator in their market. Coming from banking compliance, the analytics and on-chain investigation side is usually the gap. Certifications help at the analyst level; at officer level, employers want a program you have actually run. Current openings sit on /jobs.
