. We chose not to develop this business internally, and we chose not to invest in analytics firms because I never wanted to have a conflict of interest with our clients. I didn't want to profit from selling out your financial privacy

That's the sad part. By not doing it themselves, they sell out their clients. Chain Analysis works by the company keeping track of who can ID which addresses, so there is a huge network effect. The more companies work with one of them, the more intel they have to sell to others.

You need to have an edge to win contracts. Could be it's just way better pricing but on a vastly inferior product. Doesn't seem like the kind of trade law enforcement agencies would want to make. We don't disclose our vendor relationships. We've built a lot of tools over 9 years
