Coinbase announced today that it had acquired the Neutrino blockchain platform.
According to the blog post published on the official Coinbase website, the objective of the acquisition of Neutrino is dedicated to the prevention of fraudulent theft from the Californian crypto-exchange users’ funds.
The public blockchain of Neutrino, concentrated in the development for the monitoring, analysis and tracking of crypto flows, will remain an independent company based in Milan and will operate in the headquarters of Coinbase in London.
Neutrino will allow a more transparent data analysis that will bring to light any possible attacks of ransomware on the Coinbase platform and will identify malicious agents.
