Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic recently extended its crypto risk monitoring solutions today by adding the support for Binance Chain blockchain platform and its native crypto, Binance Coin (BNB).
By adding Binance Chain and Binance Coin to Elliptic’s monitoring operations, Binance and other that have listed the BNB token can improve accuracy in detecting suspicious activity on the blockchain. Navigator and Lens, Elliptic’s crypto transaction, and wallet monitoring solutions will enable automated compliance monitoring for BNB.
Elliptic will also be able to provide crypto compliance monitoring to issues using the Binance Launchpad, to enable users to launch new BEP2 tokens on the Binance blockchain, and also the Binance decentralized exchange, Binance DEX. Samuel Lim, Chief Compliance Officer at Binance said:
“This partnership not only strengthens our commitment to regulatory compliance but also opens the door for wider adoption of BNB and BUSD. We see Elliptic's support of Binance Chain and their expertise in blockchain analytics as an important step in furthering confidence from stakeholders over time.”
