According to the company’s 2021 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report, the Central and Southern Asia and Oceania (CSAO) region is the fourth-largest global cryptocurrency market. The region accounted for 14% of all cryptocurrency value transacted between July 2020 and June 2021. In addition, transaction activity within the CSAO region grew by 706% compared with the previous year in terms of raw value.
In a press release, Chainalysis country manager for Australia and New Zealand Todd Lenfield commented: “The Pacific region is quickly becoming a centre for cryptocurrency innovation. Our increased investment in the region will ensure businesses and governments can explore digital asset ecosystems in a safe, compliant manner.”
In June 2021, Chainalysis secured $100m in Series E funding, bringing its total valuation to more than $4bn. The funds will be used to expand the company’s blockchain data capabilities, including investing in new data tools and software.
