Chainalysis has acquired AI-powered fraud detection startup Alterya for $150 million, enhancing its blockchain analytics and security tools.

Alterya's Innovative Technology

Alterya’s real-time fraud detection models are set to significantly improve fraud prevention tools in payment transactions. The technology will also facilitate enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for exchange platforms and wallet providers. Moreover, Alterya will integrate off-chain data sources like Venmo and Zelle with blockchain analytics.

Impact of the Collaboration

Alterya’s solutions have successfully reduced fraud by 60% on major platforms such as Coinbase and Binance, thereby increasing operational efficiency. Furthermore, Alterya will contribute to expanding Chainalysis’s existing blacklist, aiding in the identification of more cryptocurrency scammers.

Alterya has proven to be a reliable partner in identifying wallet addresses associated with known investment scams. This collaboration helps us protect our customers and safeguard their hard-earned funds from malicious actors.Ilan Zimmer, Director of Payment and Operational Risk at Coinbase

Strategic Moves by Chainalysis

This acquisition marks the second significant move for Chainalysis following its purchase of the Web3 security platform Hexagate in December 2024. With advanced AI-powered fraud detection models, Alterya will further strengthen Chainalysis’s anti-fraud capabilities. As fraud becomes increasingly prevalent in the DeFi industry, the use of fake identities poses a serious issue. Fraudsters are deceiving investors with high-risk investment schemes while masquerading as crypto and financial influencers.

The merger of Alterya with Chainalysis aims to boost security in the cryptocurrency market while reducing fraud. This step is seen as crucial for better safeguarding users’ digital assets.
