The importance of blockchain analytics & cryptocurrency intelligence
The CipherTrace Service Suite for AlphaPoint offers both CipherTrace Sentry™ and CipherTrace Traveler™ products working seamlessly together to provide comprehensive address screening, risk rating and FATF Travel Rule compliance for exchange operators.
“The CipherTrace Service Suite strengthens AlphaPoint’s commitment to offering our customers access to proven compliance tools that greatly minimize the risk of reputational and monetary loss due to fraud and suspicious activities.” said Igor Telyatnikov, Co-founder & CEO of AlphaPoint.
“CipherTrace’s solutions offer banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and other financial institutions the opportunity to take a proactive approach to criminal activity.” notes Dave Jevans, CEO of CipherTrace. “We’re delighted to partner with AlphaPoint to ensure safe cryptocurrency transactions for customers to minimize the risk of primary issuance and secondary trading.”
The benefits of the CipherTrace solutions
The CipherTrace Service Suite provides a broad, high-resolution view of the cryptocurrency transaction landscape, integrating both open and closed-source data and leveraging proprietary clustering algorithms to rapidly aggregate and correlate a variety of indicators, providing actionable intelligence for AML compliance and investigation.
The offering combines the benefits of the CipherTrace Sentry and Traveler products for AlphaPoint customers. CipherTrace Sentry identifies address ownership across a wide variety of categories, including dark markets, exchanges, ATMs, mixers, and more. It also evaluates an address’ previous interactions, providing a risk rating that can be used together with address ownership to flag or block transactions.
CipherTrace Traveler facilitates the secure exchange of originator/beneficiary information with any virtual asset service provider, (VASPs) regardless of whether or not they have an existing travel rule solution in place. When a transaction reaches a monetary threshold set by an operator’s jurisdiction in compliance with the FATF Travel Rule, CipherTrace Traveler verifies the details of the transfer between verified VASPs. CipherTrace Traveler also solves the “Sunrise Issue” by automatically alerting compliance officers and virtual asset providers when a transaction has occurred by sending an email. CipherTrace Traveler uses information from the vendor neutral Travel Rule Information Sharing Alliance (TRISA) directory. TRISA is an open-source framework to support VASPs in sharing sender and receiver information to comply with Travel Rule requirements without compromising privacy.
