Highlights:                            

  • DMG Blockseer Japan has entered into a 5-year licensing agreement with a Japanese National Investigation Agency

  • The Japan Agency will use Blockseer technology to investigate and prosecute crimes relating to Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions, thefts, heists, and money laundering

  • Japan is the first major country to regulate cryptocurrency and as such, Japan is the ideal market for DMG Blockseer’s data analytic and forensic software products

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (DMGI.V) (DMGGF:OTC US) (6AX.F) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a diversified blockchain and technology company, is pleased to announce that DMG Blockseer Japan has entered into a 5-year software licensing agreement with a Japanese National Investigation Agency.

Japan is one of the first countries to regulate cryptocurrency. Since April 2017, exchanges and other businesses involved in crypto are regulated by the Japanese Payment Services Act and report annually to the Financial Services Agency. Notable thefts and frauds in Japan include Mt Gox and Coincheck, the latter of which DMG Blockseer Japan was able to investigate and subsequently identify the wallets in which a large portion of the remaining stolen bitcoin are currently held.

Adrian Glover, Director of DMG Blockseer Japan commented, “Blockseer is one of two data analytics products we’ve been developing for several years. Blockseer is a state-of-the-art blockchain explorer that assists in conducting investigations, while Walletscore is an anti-money laundering tool, primarily used to determine the risk level of transacting with a given wallet. We established DMG Blockseer Japan Corporation as a joint venture company with JCIS in order to market and sell Walletscore and Blockseer into the Japanese market. We are thrilled that a Japanese National Investigation Agency has selected Blockseer for their forensic and investigative work.”

JCIS’s Naoji Kozuka added, “We are proud that one of the Japanese national agencies has selected a 5-year Walletscore and Blockseer license over the competition. We are continuing our efforts to on-board cryptocurrency exchanges along with audit and compliance institutions.”

By gaining the trust and credibility from government agencies, DMG intends to enter into additional agreements with crypto-exchanges, other companies, and law enforcement agencies in Japan and worldwide.
