Our take
As cryptocurrency and other digital assets edge closer to the mainstream, investors still harbor concerns about their integrity and security. Solidus is one of a number of companies trying to alleviate these fears through surveillance and risk monitoring software to detect manipulation, fraud, and security threats on cryptocurrency trading platforms.
The fact that Solidus convened the Crypto Market Integrity Coalition, which has been joined by over 30 companies including the likes of Coinbase, Robinhood, and Deltect, also highlights the position of respect that it has carved out. After recently securing major funding, the company is now focusing on accelerating the deployment of its capabilities and expanding R&D.
While crypto exchanges are currently under increased scrutiny, this is a sign of their increasing appeal to investors and mainstream businesses, and security and compliance solutions such as those provided by Solidus are likely to see growing demand as a result.

Company values
- Crypto-native: Solidus is a crypto-native company - heart, body, mind and soul. In everything we do, our deepest commitment is to enabling the immense potential of digital assets, crypto and DeFi to make finance more accessible, transparent, fair and efficient. Bull market or bear market, crypto winter or crypto summer, we’ll be there, doing everything we can to help crypto fulfill its promise
- Finance is for People: It’s easy to forget it with all the numbers, spreadsheets, charts and jargon, but finance is first and foremost about people, and crypto is an opportunity to put humans back in the center of financial services. Before we’re entrepreneurs, practitioners or crypto evangelists - we are people who care about other people, and want to make lives better
- The Audacity Factor: In crypto, unbelievable is the new believable. You cannot change the world without the chutzpah to believe you can do things better than they’ve been done so far. We rather take audacious actions, shoot for the moon and land among the stars, than play it safe
- Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant: Most of what’s wrong in the financial world - crypto or traditional finance - happens in the dark, and is enabled by unclarity, dishonesty and opaqueness. Our technology sheds light into digital asset markets to make crypto safe, and our commitment to honesty, transparency and communication - so open that it’s almost blunt - flows through everything we do
