Our unique methodology is aimed to filter for consumer-scale payments (transactions under $10,000) and removes non-payment related activity.  Filtering helps isolate digital payment tokens activity that more closely resembles peer-to-peer payments, remittances, merchant payments, payroll and SME transfers, not speculative trading.
