New Post: Shufti Pro’s Role in Securing Safe Crypto Transactions: Conversation with Shahid Hanif, Co-founder of Shufti Pro - According to a study, the cryptocurrency market has attained (approx.) $40.7 billion in 2023 with a cap of more than $1.66 trillion, an 11.98% increase YoY, witnessing a remarkable surge with high-profile potential. Besides the growth, it’s a business rule wherever there is a surging industry, scammers tend to find their way to infiltrate that market, and cryptocurrency is no exception. Time Magazine reports that people lose over $1 billion every year due to crypto scammers. Crypto businesses are finding ways to safeguard their customers from the growing threats of fraudsters through various strategies, including a KYC process. It’s like a security firewall that blocks out all the wrong people and only lets genuine consumers use the service. Shufti Pro is one of those companies providing SMBs and enterprises with KYC services, especially those in the blockchain industry. Today, we’ve got the CTO of Shufti Pro, Shahid Hanif, who’s also the Co-founder of this company. We’ll ask him questions regarding the crypto market and how his organization fosters a safe business environment within the industry. Hello Shahid, we welcome you to this interview. To start the interview, please provide some background on Shufti Pro and its role in the crypto industry. Hello, thank you for having me. Shufti Pro is an all-in-one KYC service provider that offers everything a business needs to safeguard its operations from scammers. We offer a complete suite of user authentication, including facial authentication, 2FA, video KYC, NFC verification, and, most recently, e-IDV, helping businesses to operate in the digital world with confidence and trust. Our clients are primarily small-to-medium-scale businesses and large enterprises seeking customer identity authentication solutions to comply with global regulations. Especially in crypto, which has one of the highest numbers of online fraud, we help merchants from becoming victims of imposters through multiple verification checks, including 2FA, face verification, and ongoing fraud prevention algorithms, enabling them to detect deceptive entities on the spot. In the introduction, we mentioned that crypto scams cost over $1 billion, an almost 12% rise YoY; why do you think the crypto scams are surging when fraud prevention and KYC services like Shufti Pro already exist in the market? Why can’t the market control these fraudsters? The main reason behind this is the lack of awareness among business owners, which gives an advantage to fraudsters. Many companies work in the crypto field but don’t have any security checks in place for customers’ portals, logins, and even the onboarding page; of course, it’s like giving an invitation to the scammer. Secondly, many companies still use a weaker KYC that offers no security against evolving cyber-at
