BitMEX achieves industry-leading low on-chain AML risk profile through strategic partnership with Chainalysis
As the industry navigates complex regulatory environments, BitMEX has turned compliance into an opportunity for leadership. Ongoing compliance efforts include bi-weekly updates to its Proof of Reserves and Liabilities, the use of geo-blocking technology to minimise sanctions-related risks, and regular external AML audits to ensure compliance accuracy. BitMEX also integrates advanced tools to monitor both on-chain and off-chain activity, reinforcing its comprehensive approach to risk management.
Leveraging Chainalysis' cutting-edge blockchain analytics, BitMEX has implemented robust mechanisms to assess, monitor, and mitigate on-chain risks. On-chain risk exposure refers to the risks associated with the flow of digital assets, especially concerning their origin or destination, and BitMEX's proactive stance on mitigating these risks reinforces its leadership in safeguarding the crypto ecosystem.
said, "As we continue to prioritise the safety of our users and create a secure trading environment, our collaboration with Chainalysis has allowed us to stay ahead of evolving compliance standards. By integrating advanced blockchain analytics into our comprehensive risk management strategy, we have not only reduced on-chain risk exposure but also strengthened the trust our users place in us. This partnership ensures that BitMEX leads the industry in both security and regulatory adherence, giving our traders confidence in the safety of their assets."
The BitMEX compliance framework has evolved to reflect the highest standards in the industry. Central to this transformation is its risk-based approach to threshold tuning, which integrates insights from Chainalysis' detailed typologies and behavioural analytics. The platform's commitment to data integrity is evidenced by periodic testing and scenario selection based on the latest threat models, ensuring that its AML programme consistently meets regulatory expectations.
"BitMEX has continuously taken an innovative and proactive approach towards enhancing their risk management strategy and prioritising consumer safety," . "The team has always valued a strong collaboration when working with Chainalysis, and it's really impressive to see their investment in a skilled investigations and compliance team, and the adoption of advanced tools – which have yielded impressive results."
