美国银行业巨头富国银行(Wells Fargo)投资专注于取证区块链初创公司Elliptic。该银行的风险投资部门富国银行战略资本(WFSC)已决定向Elliptic的B轮融资注资500万美元。

该公司去年9月筹集了2300万美元,此次富国银行的融资使Elliptic的B轮融资总额达到2800万美元,而上一轮的投资者包括日本的SBI集团以及西班牙银行投资分支Santander,SignalFire, AlbionVC和Octopus Ventures。

这家银行业巨头对区块链初创公司的投资旨在支持其在亚洲的扩张,为该公司带来更多资源。富国银行也希望加快Elliptic Discovery,一种可使银行适应加密交易的风险的合规性产品。

 

问题所在

因为处理加密交易的风险带来的威胁多于收益,大多数银行业巨头都避免加密货币相关的业务。大型的银行所尽量不接触加密货币业务,较小型金融机构(例如总部位于美国的Silvergate)则在加密货币业务上面临着挑战。

 

解决方案:Elliptic Discovery

Elliptic Discovery产品为全球的银行提供了合规性解决方案,同时收集了200多家全球加密货币交易所的资料,使银行能够管理与加密交易相关的风险。

总部位于伦敦的Elliptic自2013年以来一直在收集数据,并在通过交易所进行加密交易时提供广泛的标识符和风险指标。

Elliptic的首席执行官兼联合创始人James Smith解释说,难以接触到加密行业的已引起了客户的沮丧。银行“对加密资产所构成的实际风险视而不见”。

 

富国银行数字货币

富国银行此前曾表示有意在与美元挂钩的区块链上创建支付网络。该银行认为,去中心化分类帐技术“为各种用例带来了希望。”借助新平台,它将使银行消除全球不同市场上多个帐户之间实时财务交互的障碍。
