Singapore-based crypto analytics firm Chainalysis has launched two screening tools – Chain Oracle and API (Application Programming Interface) to identify the country from where the crypto wallet originates.
The development comes as cryptocurrency platforms such as exchanges and Decentralised Finance grapple to comply with global sanctions on Russia, in response to that country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Chainalysis stated in a blog post that it is concerned “about the potential for cryptocurrency to be used by sanctioned entities and individuals in Russia for sanctions evasion.”
Meanwhile, Malaysia-based MY E.G. Services Berhad (MyEG) has joined the growing non-fungible token (NFT) space.
According to various media reports, the company announced its official entry into NFTs with the launch of NFT Pangolin.
MyEG said the global NFT marketplace supports the issuance and trading of NFTs and is set to operate on the soon-to-be-launched Zetrix Layer 1 blockchain network.
