With the increasing sophistication of crypto fraud and the evolving compliance landscape, organizations require robust solutions to aid in forensic investigations and compliance assessments of digital assets. AlixPartners and Chainalysis are addressing these critical needs through a strategic collaboration. AlixPartners will join the Chainalysis Services Provider program, enhancing their ability to provide best-in-class litigation support to the global digital assets industry in the form of cryptocurrency tracing, forensics, compliance assessments and remediation, data analytics, and related expert witness testimony.
Through this collaboration, AlixPartners professionals have received enhanced crypto asset tracing training to become Chainalysis Certified Investigators, and bring their expertise to expand the breadth of services offered to Chainalysis customers. This initiative aims to bolster their capabilities in supporting clients across the globe.
Cryptoasset exchanges, crypto-native companies, financial institutions, and government agencies are all looking for innovative solutions to track crypto transactions for investigations and help improve regulatory compliance. This collaboration allows AlixPartners’ consultants to add Chainalysis’ proprietary blockchain data monitoring technology to their investigation toolbox, enhancing the identification and tracing of a wide range of supported digital assets and to also assess the potential risk levels associated with crypto transactions. Together, Chainalysis and AlixPartners will provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of asset movements and potential financial crime and compliance risks, enabling them to make informed decisions swiftly and effectively.
“As trusted advisors in the realm of cryptoassets, our alliance with Chainalysis and their industry-leading blockchain data and investigation tools underscores our commitment to enhancing our clients’ ability to investigate and respond to crypto related legal issues and to meet their risk compliance obligations,” said David White, Partner and Managing Director at AlixPartners. “This collaboration strengthens AlixPartners’ expertise in forensic investigations and our overall capabilities related to cryptoassets and blockchain technology.”
“This collaboration with the expert team at AlixPartners represents a significant milestone in our mission to build trust in blockchains by expanding the impact of our solutions,” said Shannon Hughes, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Chainalysis. “This offering for AlixPartners’ customers gives the best of our organizations, ensuring that their crypto investigations and compliance work is done with Chainalysis’ industry-leading, ground-truth data, and through the expertise of the team at AlixPartners.”
The landscape of cryptoasset fraud has intensified over recent years, paralleling the rise in crypto ownership. According to the Chainalysis 2024 Crypto Crime Report, the volume of cryptocurrency-based illicit transactions totaled at least $24.2 billion last year. This collaboration will deepen the expertise at both AlixPartners and Chainalysis, expand their collective impact, reduce and disrupt illicit activity in crypto, and ultimately help build trust in the future of finance.
