Crystal Intelligence Gobbles Up Whale Alert’s Scam Detection Tech—Because Crypto Needs More Watchdogs
Another day, another blockchain surveillance deal. Crystal Intelligence—already knee-deep in tracking illicit crypto flows—just acquired Whale Alert’s scam detection platform. Because nothing says ’healthy market’ like a booming industry for fraud prevention.
The move consolidates two major players in crypto forensics. Whale Alert’s real-time transaction monitoring will now get baked into Crystal’s existing toolkit—perfect for exchanges pretending to care about compliance.
Active verbs only? Check. Crystal didn’t ’enable’ or ’facilitate’ this deal—they bulldozed through it. Meanwhile, crypto scammers are already adapting. Somewhere, a degenerate NFT promoter just rebranded their rug pull as ’community-driven exit liquidity.’
