To support this next phase of growth, MoonPay partnered with Chainalysis and leveraged its integration with Unit21 to build a single, streamlined environment for investigations and case management, one that combined tightly integrated workflows with industry-leading blockchain intelligence and alerts from KYT. At the core of this collaboration is the direct flow of Chainalysis’ blockchain intelligence and KYT alert data into Unit21’s case management platform. Where investigators previously had to switch between tools to manage alerts, analyze wallets, and document findings, they can now complete their entire compliance and investigative lifecycle in one place. Blockchain intelligence is no longer an external reference point; it is a critical input embedded into every case and suspicious activity report.

With Chainalysis intelligence and KYT data flowing directly into Unit21, MoonPay’s teams can efficiently consume alerts, screen wallets, and review both fiat and crypto activities in real time, all without slowing down or compromising investigative rigor. Higdon described the integration as “a highly strategic effort focused on more than simply connecting two systems,” with the goal of enabling Chainalysis and Unit21 to operate as a single, cohesive compliance engine. By leveraging the Chainalysis KYT endpoint’s full read/write capabilities, teams can work alerts externally via API. MoonPay’s compliance operations scale globally, reduce needless customer friction, and meet regulatory obligations with confidence.

That foundation allows us to innovate faster and grow responsibly, added Higdon. MoonPay’s partnership with Chainalysis and Unit21 enables further centralization of compliance workflows. Customer context, alerts, on-chain exposure analysis, approvals, and reporting are captured in a single system, allowing investigators from cyber threat units to prioritize cases more effectively and conduct deeper tracing in Chainalysis Reactor.
