TRM Labs uses cross-chain data with threat intelligence, advanced analytics, and intuitive visualisations to detect crypto fraud and financial crime.

“Crypto is moving faster than any sector in our lifetimes. Organisations need a blockchain intelligence partner that can stay ahead of the evolving risk landscape — from ransomware attacks to DeFi exploits.
This round enables TRM to continue to offer the most reliable data and most innovative technology solutions in the market to its customers,”
said Esteban Castaño, Co-founder and CEO of TRM.
