Every scam, hack or money laundering scheme that touches crypto leaves a trail on the blockchain. Someone has to follow it. OKX wants an analyst who can read wallet flows like a detective reads a crime scene, and turn that work into reports that regulators and law enforcement can act on.
About OKX
OKX is a global crypto exchange and the developer of OKX Wallet, which gives millions of people access to crypto trading and decentralized apps. Hundreds of large institutions also use it to reach crypto markets, and the company publishes Proof of Reserves. Its compliance team runs the company's overall compliance program and advises the business on regulatory obligations and risk.
