Overview
TRM Labs is an American company founded in 2018 that builds blockchain intelligence tools used to trace cryptocurrency transactions across chains. Its customers are financial institutions, cryptocurrency businesses and government agencies, and its software attributes wallet addresses to known entities, follows funds through mixers and bridges, and produces the evidence used in sanctions enforcement and criminal investigations. Headquartered in San Francisco and backed by investors including Goldman Sachs and Thoma Bravo, it competes with Chainalysis in a market created almost entirely by regulation rather than by commercial demand.

Products
Chain Coverage
Attribution data spanning dozens of blockchains and hundreds of thousands of identified entities. Breadth of coverage is the actual product here, since any unmonitored chain quickly becomes the route illicit funds take.
trmlabs.com
Government Solutions
Investigation and sanctions enforcement tooling for law enforcement and regulators. Public agencies were early adopters here because the alternative was tracing transactions manually in a spreadsheet.
trmlabs.com
Wallet Screening
Risk scoring of individual addresses before a transaction is accepted. Screening at the point of deposit is the only practical way to avoid taking funds a business would later have to freeze and report.
trmlabs.com
Transaction Monitoring
Screening of transactions against risk signals and sanctions lists in real time. Cryptocurrency businesses need this to hold banking relationships at all, which makes it a licence to operate rather than a product choice.
trmlabs.com
Forensics
Investigation tooling that traces funds across blockchains and through mixing services. Cross-chain tracing is the technically hardest part, because moving value between chains was for years an effective way to break a trail.
