ICYMI: Chainalysis makes new crypto sanctions monitoring tools free to the public
On March 10, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis announced the launch of new tools for identifying crypto wallets that fall under sanctions.In an announcement shared with The Block, Chainalysis said:
"Given the transparency of blockchains, it would be difficult for the Russian government or financial elite to systematically evade sanctions at scale through cryptocurrency without detection. However, as with the traditional financial system, some sanctioned Russian actors may attempt to use cryptocurrency as a means to evade sanctions.", which are smart contracts identifying sanctioned wallets on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks like Polygon and Avalanche.
Later this month, the firm plans to release a free API that will allow the public to identify wallet addresses under sanctions from all chains. A representative confirmed to The Block the inclusion of BTC and LTC wallets, which, along with ETH, have appeared on sanctions lists with the greatest frequency.
Chainalysis provides blockchain tracing tools to government agencies and law enforcement and helps crypto firms like exchanges identify high-risk wallets.
