With regulatory compliance and security as the main industry focuses on the way to the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, two industry leaders teamed up to take on the task. Â
Today, one of the largest fiat-crypto exchanges BitBay announced its collaboration with Coinfirm, a leading provider of anti-money laundering (AML) and risk assessment solutions and services for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, solidifying it’s approach towards the professionalization of the crypto industry. Â
BitBay looks for innovative partnerships all around the world to grow the crypto ecosystem and bring our business to the next level. Coinfirm offers solutions that increase the trust in cryptocurrency and facilitate their adoption on a large scale.- says Patryk Kadlec, VP, Chief of Business Development at BitBay.
Created by former global heads of AML at major financial institutions and cryptocurrency veterans, Coinfirm’s AML Platform has placed them as a worldwide leader in RegTech for blockchain. Â
The Platform is already servicing clients ranging from exchanges, major crypto entities like Dash, over 100 ICOs, to major banks and financial institutions around the world. Coinfirm AML Platform, the AMLT Network and token create a system that further helping protect users and increase the adoption of cryptocurrencies as a whole.
Coinfirm’s recently launched AMLT Network has not only given a voice to the cryptocurrency economy but along with the Coinfirm AML Platform has given it a tool to limit potential damage caused by fraud and nefarious actors while limiting their incentives to do such actions in the first place. Now when a hack happens and is reported quickly into the AMLT Network, there is the possibility that it could prevent the funds and actions from spreading further risk throughout the economy.
With the growing participation of other industry leaders like BitBay, we can bring a new level of transparency, security, and therefore adoption to the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. We are more than happy that BitBay, which represents the quality and scale not only wants to be a progressive industry player in compliance in collaboration with our technology but help us push mass adoption of cryptocurrencies globally – explains Grant Blaisdell, Co-Founder at Coinfirm.
With beta launch just over a month ago, the AMLT Network has already had hundreds of addresses reported by Network Members, a building roster of companies such as the token launchpad TokenMarket. After the first month, the AMLT Network distributed the AMLT token reward to its Network Members for providing data. Each Network Member is helping themselves as well as the entire cryptocurrency economy by providing not only data but data that can then be used to help prevent
Coinfirm’s AMLT Network is a forward-looking project. We are glad that we will contribute to its development.- concluded Patryk Kadlec.
