Product Blueprint
ChainClear — a self-serve crypto compliance co-pilot for mid-market fintechs and neobanks that auto-generates SAR narratives, transaction monitoring rule explanations, and audit-ready blockchain trace reports from raw wallet activity without requiring a dedicated blockchain analyst on staff.
Why it matters
TRM's $1B valuation at 150%+ revenue growth signals that crypto compliance demand has exploded past what enterprise-only tooling can absorb — the 2,000+ mid-market fintechs holding crypto licenses are underserved because TRM, Chainalysis, and Elliptic all price and structure for banks and exchanges, not the long tail.
Target user
Compliance officers and BSA/AML analysts at fintechs with 50–500 employees that have launched crypto features but can't afford TRM's enterprise contracts ($50K–$200K/year) or a full-time blockchain intelligence headcount — they're doing manual wallet lookups and writing SARs by hand.
Go-to-market
Sign 3 BaaS platforms as distribution partners offering ChainClear as a compliance add-on to their fintech clients at $500–$2,000/month; first MVP is a single-workflow tool that takes a flagged wallet address, pulls public on-chain data via free/freemium blockchain APIs, and outputs a pre-filled SAR narrative draft with a one-click audit trail — validate with 10 compliance officers recruited directly from LinkedIn in crypto-enabled neobank roles.
