Neutrino&#39;s technology is the best we&#39;ve encountered, and will play an important role in legitimizing crypto, making it safer and more accessible for everyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6gXcRvpEBM\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/6gXcRvpEBM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Coinbase (@coinbase) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1097813076148215808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 19, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\">What Exactly is Blockchain Intelligence and How Does\u00a0Neutrino Do it?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Blockchain intelligence involves the analysis of data on public blockchains. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neutrino.nu\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Neutrino<\/a> does this by developing solutions for monitoring, analyzing and tracking cryptocurrency flows across multiple blockchain networks. This provides a better understanding and insight into the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One of the most important uses of blockchain intelligence is providing solutions for law enforcement. By tracking suspected funds across multiple blockchains, the services and tools provided by Neutrino can assist in making the crypto ecosystem more secure and safe. An example of a situation where blockchain intelligence can make a difference is tracking funds collected by the architects of ransomware. Neutrino can identify geographical areas where the ransomware is active and spot the wallets used for consolidating funds and for cashing-out. These wallet addresses can then be blacklisted by exchanges where the perpetrators might want to cash out. Another scenario would be freezing the funds if the wallet addresses are in the said crypto exchanges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The team at Coinbase further explains why they acquired Neutrino and how the acquisition will help prevent crime on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"bad8\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Neutrino will help us prevent theft of funds from peoples\u2019 accounts, investigate ransomware attacks, and identify bad actors. It will also help us bring more cryptocurrencies and features to more people while helping ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"21a5\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Neutrino\u2019s technology is the best we\u2019ve encountered in this space, and it will play an important role in legitimizing crypto, making it safer and more accessible for people all over the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>What are your thoughts on the current trend by Cryptocurrency exchanges acquiring blockchain companies? We have seen it with Coinsquare <a href=\"https:\/\/ethereumworldnews.com\/coinsquare-acquires-the-stellarx-decentralized-exchange\/\">acquiring<\/a> StellarX and now Coinbase acquiring Neutrino.
