Blockchain analysis firms continue to gain more attention. In the case of Chainalysis, the company will now collaborate with Bitfinex to keep criminals at bay. It is crucial for any cryptocurrency exchange to ensure no illicit money streams pass through its order books.
Chainalysis Tool Helps out Bitfinex
That is often easier said than done, unless one has proper countermeasures in place.Bitfinex is seemingly stepping up its game in this particular department.The company has begun integrating a new compliance tool developed by blockchain analysis outfit Chainalysis.
