TRM Labs co-founder and CEO Esteban Castaño said: “At TRM, we are fuelled by a fundamental belief that cryptocurrency and blockchain can democratise access to financial services and empower billions of people.

“By building solutions to prevent cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime, we enable this vision and build a safer financial system for billions of people.”

Currently, the TRM platform is being used by banks, brokerages and exchanges, among other financial institutions in the US, Latin America, Asia and Europe.

Blockchain Capital general partner Spencer Bogart added: “TRM provides a solution that every financial institution needs today because they are either establishing plans to directly engage with crypto or because they inevitably have customers or partnerships that are in some way exposed to cryptocurrency transactions.”
