Crypto Compliance & AI Advisory

Specialized consulting for digital asset exchanges, fintechs, and blockchain companies. From market surveillance program design to AI-driven compliance solutions.

150M+ Users Monitored
100+ Daily Investigations
5 AI Systems Deployed
24/7 System Uptime

Three disciplines.
One consultant.

Most compliance consultants can't build technology. Most AI developers don't understand regulation. Coldstorm bridges both — with hands-on trading experience that adds a third dimension.

01

Investigator

Former Binance market surveillance. Investigated wash trading, spoofing, and layering across 150M+ users. Processed 100+ alerts daily. Traced $500K+ in assets using Chainalysis Reactor. Drafted SARs and managed L2 escalations.

02

Trader

Former Keyrock algorithmic trader. Managed $10M+ daily volume across 22 institutional clients. Operator-level understanding of the exact market manipulation patterns later investigated at Binance — a perspective regulators and compliance teams rarely have.

03

Engineer

5 production AI compliance systems deployed and running continuously. Custom agents for automated alert triage, SAR drafting, and intelligent document processing. Built with Claude API, LangChain, Python, and Rust — not off-the-shelf tools.

Compliance expertise meets
technical capability.

We combine hands-on investigative experience at the world's largest exchange with production-grade AI engineering to deliver solutions that work.
