Crystal’s USD view for transactions

by the Crystal product team

This month we released several new features and updated our product roadmap as we tackle cryptocurrency compliance issues.

1. Entity Visualization Feature

With our new entity visualization feature, a user can group addresses belonging to the same cluster into a single node. This improvement should streamline your analysis and investigations by narrowing down the amount of data on screen.

2. USD View for Transactions

It is critical to understand the scale of the transactions reviewed in Crystal, especially if you are required to complete compliance threshold checks. We have launched a tool on the Transactions Page that can show you the total amount exchanged in a transaction in both BTC and in USD. We calculate the bitcoin price in USD according to the exchange rate from bitcoin to USD on the day of the transaction.

3. Expanded Entities Database

We have improved our entities database! When you are viewing an exchange, payment processor or online wallet in our Entity Explorer, you can also see the country of registration for that entity as well as if that service accepts/provides fiat currency.

Coming Soon:

Case Management: We will be expanding the features of our case management system — more details to come soon.

New Coin Support: We will also be adding support for Litecoin and Tether in the next few months — stay tuned!
