BVNK, ever the trendsetter, has extended its partnership with Chainalysis, the crypto equivalent of a wizard’s hat, to integrate know-your-transaction (KYT) tools into the digital banking platform’s Layer1 self-custody infrastructure. 🧙♂️
According to a Dec. 13 press release, which is about as exciting as a spreadsheet with a single cell filled in, enterprise clients using BVNK’s Layer1 self-hosting, self-custody platform will now have access to Chainalysis’ suite of KYT tools including real-time crypto compliance intelligence from within their dashboard and plug-and-play functionality via the firm’s bring-your-own-key (BYOK) model. 📄
The tools provide the necessary security and data management services required for compliance with industry regulations and allow businesses to review risk scores, monitor addresses, and freeze high-risk transactions from within the UI. Because who doesn’t want to freeze transactions with the grace of a well-timed dance move? 💃🕺
🤝 We’re deepening our work with @BVNKFinance. Chainalysis KYT now connects directly into their new Layer1 platform, so teams can plug in an API key, see real-time risk, and freeze high-risk transactions without leaving their payments stack. ✅

Digital Assets Reach Broad Enterprise Adoption
As Coinspeaker reported in September of 2025, North America cryptocurrency trading volume reached $2.3 trillion between July 2024 and June 2025, representing 26% of all global transaction activity during the 12-month period. 📈
According to Chainalysis, that activity was attributable to a more favorable regulatory outlook and the passage of the GENIUS Act, broader industry adoption of institutional trading strategies, the rise of spot Bitcoin BTC $93 522 🚀 and Ethereum ETH $3 193 🐲 ETFs, and the rising popularity of tokenized real-world assets. 🏠
Cryptocurrency and digital asset adoption among businesses reached all-time highs in 2025. The onset of a positive global regulatory environment for crypto coupled with the surging popularity of stablecoins has positioned blockchain-native firms such as BVNK as lynchpin providers in the digital assets solutions space. 🤖
As a result, traditional finance organizations are beginning to infiltrate the crypto and web3 markets. For example, the third-largest bank in the US, Citibank, recently invested an undisclosed sum of money in BVNK as part of a strategic partnership. At the time, BVNK’s valuation had reportedly exceeded the $750 million mark and Bitcoin was teasing new all-time highs. 📉
Citibank CEO Jane Fraser revealed back in July, ahead of the BVNK partnership, that the bank was exploring the development of a Citi-backed stablecoin and seeking to expand its cross-border remittance capabilities. 🤝
