Announced Thursday, KPMG, BitGo and Coin Metrics have announced a combined offering that seeks to manage and monitor risks on public blockchain networks.
The offering combines KPMGâs Chain Fusion services and accelerators, BitGoâs custody technology and Coin Metricsâ data and intelligence products via a âdeeply integrated combined offering.â
Coinciding with the firmsâ offering, Coin Metrics also announced the commercial launch of a new suite of products known as FARUM providing BitGoâs existing and future clients the ability to monitor and manage risk on networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
FARUM seeks to provide users with the tools to identify network attacks, transaction reorgs, fee volatility risks and unusual network event risks, according to the firmâs website.
The combined offering is the result of a strategic partnership between KPMG and Coin Metrics that was formed in October 2020. The alliance seeks to deliver data and insights, proprietary analytics and crypto-asset services to support growth in institutional adoption.
The alliance also pairs Coin Metricâs suite of institutional data products and infrastructure with KPMGâs Chain Fusion, a suite of tools designed to provide customers a way of handling financial reporting regulations.
The firms said their offering also âcollapses implementation cyclesâ while delivering core capabilities for financial institutions by leveraging their experience in system integration, risk, compliance and control patterns.
â[This] marks a significant step forward in uniting core capabilities for custody, data and risk/compliance and security through an integrated solution,â said Arun Ghosh, head of crypto assets at KPMG.
Ghosh added he thinks FARUM represents a new kind of public blockchain intelligence that is âtransformingâ institutional risk management.
