U.S. Government agencies paid nearly $10M for blockchain analysis; led by IRS, FBI and ICE

Companies focusing exclusively on blockchain analysis have raised more than $100 million in venture capital to date. These firms help businesses that deal with cryptocurrencies remain compliant with strict AML and KYC obligations.

The blockchain analysis firms utilize the data-sharing model by collecting the transactional data from all the clients they serve (mostly fiat-to-crypto exchanges and governmental agencies). The more clients they service, the better, or rather the more precise, the product gets. Blockchain analysis can fairly accurately score each blockchain transaction and asses the corresponding risk.
