132% employee growth in 12 months
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, Chainalysis stands to scale considerably. Partnerships with a number of key banks and credit unions indicates that the company is already experiencing accelerated growth. It is worth noting that the company is in the midst of a defamation lawsuit from one company it labelled fraudulent - though this is an ongoing situation.
