Elliptic, Litecoin'de MimbleWimble Desteğini Duyurdu

A week after Litecoin activated the long-anticipated MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) upgrade, blockchain analytics firm, Elliptic announced adding support for the privacy feature of the cryptocurrency.

Resmi olarak duyuru, the move will allow regulated businesses to continue to support Litecoin transactions while remaining compliant with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and sanctions. Elliptic said that its solutions will enable merchants to identify whether a Litecoin transaction or wallet includes funds that have leveraged MWEB. This information can be used by compliance professionals to analyze risk and perform further due diligence.

Elliptic is involved with businesses and government entities to assess blockchains for fraudulent activities. Tom Robinson, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder at Elliptic commented,

Elliptic'in işlem ve cüzdan tarama çözümleri, Mimblewimble etkinliğinin görünürlüğünü sağlayarak, işletmelere yasal yükümlülüklerini yerine getirirken Litecoin'i desteklemeye devam etmeleri için ihtiyaç duydukları risk öngörülerini sağlıyor."

According to Robinson, identification of the MWEB activity may not potentially demotivate businesses to add LTC as their payment method. The exec told CryptoPotato that “as long as businesses have visibility of when these privacy features are being used by customers, they can still perform effective due diligence and comply with regulations.”

Investment Warnings

Just days after Litecoin announced MWEB activation, it was rapor that two leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges, UpBit and Bithumb, issued investment warning against the upgrade. The two platforms cited Korea’s Act on the Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Transaction Information as the reason behind designating the cryptocurrency as an “investment warning.” It has been noted in the past that exchanges tend to delist tokens after such warnings.

When asked if such risks persist, Robinson said:

“Borsaların veya tüccarların, Mimblewimble aracılığıyla gizli işlemlerin etkinleştirilmesi nedeniyle Litecoin'i listeden çıkarmalarına gerek yok. Bu işletmelerin Litecoin'i desteklerken kara para aklamayı önleme düzenlemelerine uymaları hala tamamen mümkündür. Tüm kripto para birimlerinin işlem akışlarını gizlemenin bir yolu var; ister Bitcoin'deki coinjoin'ler ister Ethereum'daki Tornado Cash olsun."
