The blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis last Monday, June 12, announced the integration of the crypto-payment platform Coinbase Commerce.

As a result of the implementation of this solution, users of the blockchain analytics platform will be able to make payments through the use of digital assets, including DeFi tokens.

Will Robinson, Coinbase’s vice president of engineering, said that Chainalysis customers can use digital currency to pay for a wide range of cryptography-related services. Separately, he stressed that in this case, optimization of operations is provided.

As a result of the integration of Coinbase Commerce, consumers will be able to pay with the help of a growing number of cryptocurrencies. This circumstance simplifies participation in the DeFi ecosystem. The integration of crypto payments is an achievement that is part of a consistent effort to use digital assets as a means of payment.
