Blockchain analytics startup Elliptic has integrated with LexisNexis, a move that provides the startup's clients with access to the vendor's global money laundering database.

"By integrating LexisNexis Risk Solutions' robust watchlist data, we are making it safe for a new wave of financial institutions to handle bitcoin and bank bitcoin companies," Elliptic co-founder and CEO James Smith said in a statement.
Elliptic closed a $5m Series A round earlier this year, a fundraise led by Paladin Capital Group, a venture firm with ties to the US defense industry. The firm has raised $7m in funding to date.
