For a full decade, Chainalysis has carved out a distinct niche in the crypto world as the go-to source for blockchain intelligence for governments around the globe. Now, the New York-based firm is set for a new chapter as co-founder Jonathan Levin takes on the role of chief executive officer just as crypto markets are riding a massive upswing.
Levin, an avid cyclist with a polished English accent, told Fortune this week that Chainalysis's core business serving governments is going strong, and that he sees an opportunity for the company to provide additional services beyond its flagship criminal investigation tools. His remark reflects the growing view in the crypto industry that governments will begin integrating stablecoins and other blockchain-based assets into their day-to-day financial operations.
