Chainalysis Company Intelligence

2020 and 2021 saw an increase in mainstream awareness of the involvement of cryptocurrency use in ransomware attacks. As law enforcement officials and regulators tackle these criminal activities, many are using the tools developed by Chainalysis, which has established itself as the go-to provider for public-sector entities seeking blockchain intelligence.

Founded in 2014, Chainalysis’ first major client was the bankruptcy trustee of the infamous Mt. Gox case, during which 850,000 bitcoins were reported stolen.
