Event Summary

Blockaid, a blockchain security company, announced the launch of its new Risk Exposure suite on May 13, 2026. This real-time compliance infrastructure is designed to help exchanges, custodians, banks, asset managers, and DeFi protocols monitor and enforce risk policies before illicit exposure spreads through onchain systems. The suite expands Blockaid's security platform beyond DeFi-native exploit, scam, and fraud prevention, offering capabilities like Risk Screening API, Cosigner Policy Engine, and DeFi Toxicity Monitors. The launch addresses the growing pressure on compliance systems due to the rapid evolution of exposure in DeFi ecosystems and the acceleration of cryptocurrency investment fraud, as highlighted by incidents involving Bybit, Cetus, Balancer (DeFi protocol), and KelpDAO, and the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation's Operation Level Up.
