Crystal expands for XRP & XLM Blockchains

by Hlib Krasnov

Director of Product

Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) have emerged as significant blockchain networks, facilitating high volumes of transactions globally.

The increasing adoption of these networks creates new challenges for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), regulators, law enforcement agencies, and compliance professionals who need robust tools for tracking and analysis.

Crystal’s latest platform update introduces extensive investigative support for XRP and XLM, offering compliance teams advanced monitoring, visualization, and analytical capabilities.

Addressing compliance challenges for XRP and XLM

XRP and XLM are prominent networks, facilitating fast and efficient transactions worldwide. Their convenience also makes them potential channels for illicit activities, presenting critical visibility gaps for compliance professionals.

Crystal’s updated support closes these gaps, empowering professionals to monitor these blockchains confidently.

New features for XRP and XLM:

  • Real-time transaction tracing: precisely map blockchain transactions.
  • Advanced visualization tools: gain clear insights into transaction flows and entity connections.
  • Detailed Explorer functionality: thoroughly analyze blockchain addresses and transaction hashes.
  • Integrated case management: efficiently document and manage blockchain investigations.

Global regulatory compliance

This update aligns Crystal’s capabilities with intensifying global regulatory standards—from the U.S. regulatory framework and EU’s MiCA to compliance demands across Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Crystal’s XRP and XLM support ensures compliance teams worldwide have the necessary tools to meet these growing requirements.
