<p>Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex has integrated a compliance tool from blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis to monitor cryptocurrency transactions in “real-time.”</p> <p>Announced Thursday, Chainalysis <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chainalysis-brings-privacy-safe-compliance-solution-to-cryptocurrency-exchange-bitfinex-300973941.html">said</a> its “Know Your Transaction (KYT)” compliance software will help Bitfinex monitor large volumes of cryptocurrency activity and identify high-risk transactions on a continuous basis. This, in turn, will help the exchange to focus on the most urgent activity and enforce compliance policies.</p> <p>Chainalysis’ solution “aligned with what we were seeking to keep bad actors off of our platform, while protecting the privacy of our users," said Peter Warrack, chief compliance officer of Bitfinex. He added that the solution “does not share information identifying users, which is kept strictly in-house.”</p> <p>Chainalysis <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/41844/chainalysis-to-add-support-for-xrp-zcash-dash-and-seven-other-erc-20-tokens-including-dai-and-0x">currently tracks</a> 41 cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), bitcoin cash (BCH), Tether (USDT), Maker and Dai.
