As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting trends and understanding the intricacies of the market, I view this collaboration between AlixPartners and Chainalysis as a beacon of hope in an industry that has seen its fair share of ups and downs.
AlixPartners and Chainalysis are joining forces to strengthen their offerings in the areas of cryptocurrency compliance and investigative services, aiming to tackle escalating fraud issues.
Financial advisory company AlixPartners, known for handling high-profile restructuring cases, has teamed up with Chainalysis, a blockchain analysis specialist, to bolster their compliance and investigative skills within the realm of cryptocurrencies.
Under the terms of this partnership, AlixPartners will become a part of Chainalysis’s Service Provider program, thereby enhancing its range of services to include areas like “cryptocurrency tracking, investigations, compliance evaluations and corrections, data analysis, and associated expert witness reports,” as per the announcement made on their blog on October 31.
The partnership aims to tackle a pressing issue within the cryptocurrency sector, as fraudulent activities and regulatory hurdles are increasing. As per Chainalysis’ 2024 Crypto Crime Report, illicit transactions involving cryptocurrencies amounted to $24.2 billion in 2023, emphasizing the demand for proficiency in tracking transactions and managing risks. With AlixPartners’ consultants now being Chainalysis Certified Investigators, they will utilize the company’s blockchain tracing tools to enhance crypto monitoring and compliance services for their clients.
From Madoff to FTX
Established back in 1981 by Jay Alix, AlixPartners has built a reputation for its restructuring work, having been involved in high-profile cases like General Motors, Enron, and Kmart. More recently, it has made waves in the cryptocurrency sector, helping FTX’s new leadership trace billions of dollars worth of funds that went missing after the exchange’s fall in 2022. The company’s forensic skills were also showcased during the Bernie Madoff case, where they successfully identified victims of one of history’s largest Ponzi schemes.
David White, the leader of financial advisory at AlixPartners, highlighted that their partnership with Chainalysis would significantly boost their abilities for forensic investigations within the cryptocurrency industry. Shannon Hughes, Chainalysis’s head of partnerships, commended this collaboration as an integral step in their goal to “establish trust in financial future” by broadening their investigative scope.
