Company mission
Chainalysis' mission is to enable people to safely transact on the decentralised internet, and to prevent abuse of cryptocurrencies by malicious actors.
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
The unregulated cryptocurrency market is prone to illicit activity and compliance issues, leading to large scale financial crime and severe market instability. Chainalysis is setting out to change this by providing compliance and investigation software to regulators, law enforcement agencies and organizations involved in the fight against bad actors in the crypto space.
Chainalysis’s software helps enforcers identify and safeguard against cryptocrime such as money laundering. The company markets its products largely towards enterprise companies, banks and governments, and now boasts over 700 large-scale customers. These include Barclays and Square, which is testament to the effectiveness of its products.
With demand for specialist compliance tools rising in the wake of the FTX collapse and crypto crime reaching record highs in 2022 , Chainalysis stands to scale considerably. Recent partnerships with a number of key banks and credit unions indicates that the company is already experiencing accelerated growth.
