The Challenge
In the fast-paced world of digital assets, a leading cryptocurrency exchange company encountered a formidable challenge. The company was navigating through a vast array of digital assets, each requiring rigorous scrutiny for compliance with financial crime regulations. Amid a bullish market, the company saw an opportunity to expand its digital asset investigation capabilities by swiftly evaluating and considering the listing of numerous new assets. The task at hand was not merely a compliance requirement; it was a strategic maneuver to meet market demands, diversify trading options and enhance revenue.
