Can I track a cryptocurrency wire transfer using an IMAD number?

avatarHarry Michael Yarbro MikeDec 24, 2021 · 3 years ago3 answers

Is it possible to track a cryptocurrency wire transfer using an IMAD (Interbank Message Authentication and Dispatch) number? I've heard that IMAD numbers are used for tracking traditional bank wire transfers, but I'm not sure if the same applies to cryptocurrency transfers. Can someone shed some light on this?

    Unfortunately, tracking a cryptocurrency wire transfer using an IMAD number is not possible. Unlike traditional bank wire transfers, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks, making it difficult to trace transactions using the same methods. Cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, but the IMAD number is not part of this process. If you need to track a cryptocurrency transfer, you'll need to rely on other methods such as transaction IDs or wallet addresses.

    Nope, IMAD numbers are specific to traditional banking systems and are not applicable to cryptocurrency transfers. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on blockchain technology, which is decentralized and transparent. While you can track transactions on the blockchain using transaction IDs or wallet addresses, IMAD numbers are not relevant in this context.

    As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that tracking a cryptocurrency wire transfer using an IMAD number is not possible. Cryptocurrencies have their own unique tracking methods, such as transaction IDs and wallet addresses. These identifiers are used to trace transactions on the blockchain, which is the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies. IMAD numbers are specific to traditional banking systems and cannot be used for tracking cryptocurrency transfers.
