PANews reported on December 5 that according to CoinDesk, after Michael Gronager, co-founder and long-time CEO of crypto analysis company Chainalysis, stepped down in September, co-founder Jonathan Levin took over as the company's CEO.

Levin co-founded Chainalysis with Gronager in 2014. He declined to elaborate on the reasons for Gronager's departure, saying only that the board and Gronager agreed it was time for a change. Chainalysis President Sari Granat has been serving as interim CEO. Gronager's currently vacant board seat will be filled by Paul Auvil, a longtime technology and financial executive, who will serve as an independent director and chairman of the audit committee. Levin declined to comment on whether Chainalysis plans to go public or when.
