WazirX – Binance's Indian crypto exchange – has tapped blockchain analytics provider TRM Labs to enhance its anti-fraud and anti-money laundering measures.

  • TRM Labs offers tools for wallet screening, transaction monitoring and investigations, according to an emailed statement Thursday.
  • Its monitoring capability extends to the Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Dogecoin, Cardano and Polygon networks among others.
  • WazirX regards the partnership as a reinforcement of its commitment to detecting and preventing illicit activity in the face of uncertainty in India about regulation of crypto assets in the future.
