[ENG] #120 - Mircea Miheascu (Coinfirm) - AML risks, crypto and algorithms

Two complex concepts together in this episode: crypto and AML Risk scoring. Keep cool, that remains completely understandable. Mircea joined Coinfirm 18 months ago to accelerate the expansion of this software provider offering AML Risk Analytics solutions for blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

Supporting over 1200 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, Dash, and Hyperledger, Confirm’s AML solutions are used by over 140 global clients, ranging from crypto exchanges such as Binance, protocols like NEAR to major financial institutions.

We cover the entire range of risks that Coinfirm helps its clients to mitigate, such as regulatory risk, transaction and counterparty risks.

We deep dive into the four different building blocks of Coinfirm : on ramp, onchain, off ramp, analytics and see how the start-up improves the knowledge of the compliance officer to get into that crypto space, shifting from a pure TradFi thinking to a hybrid one to understand and properly address those risks.

We also talk about the last Series A with investors like Middle Game Ventures and Coinshares.
