LISBON, February 25, 2026 – Bison Bank, a Portuguese bank specializing in private banking, wealth management, custody, and investment banking services, today announces, through its virtual asset subsidiary Bison Digital Assets (BDA), a strategic partnership with Elliptic, the global leader in blockchain analytics supporting digital asset decision-making. This strategic alliance integrates Elliptic’s blockchain analytics solutions, including its AI-powered assistant, Elliptic’s copilot, strengthening the integrity of its operations and protecting client assets with the highest standards of security and transparency.
Elliptic’s platform enables in-depth, real-time analysis of transactions across more than 1,000 digital assets. Elliptic’s copilot assistant, powered by Artificial Intelligence, automates data collection, fund flow analysis, participant identification, and the linking of relevant information, providing a clear and consistent AI-generated risk summary. This makes critical information immediately available, allowing analysts to make faster, more informed decisions and free up time for more complex analytical activities. As a result, compliance functions become more efficient, scalable, and focused on mitigating the most relevant risks.
“Providing services to our clients based on technology that ensures high standards of security and compliance is a strategic pillar for BDA,” says André Rendeiro, Board Member of Bison Digital Assets. “Elliptic’s copilot assistant does not replace our analysts; it empowers them by instantly synthesizing complex data so our team can focus on critical and analytical analysis, with efficiency improvements of around 50%, thereby contributing to the compliance of operations and the protection of clients.”
Bison Bank will now use Elliptic’s technology, the same platform trusted by financial leaders like J.P. Morgan, payment benchmarks like PayPal, and the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance. The adoption of this technology, which is also a reference for agencies like US Department of Justice and OFSI, ensures that Bison Bank adheres to the highest security standards.
“Elliptic’s role is to help financial institutions manage digital asset risk with speed, accuracy, and confidence,” says Jackson Hull, Chief Technology Officer at Elliptic. “Elliptic’s copilot builds on our track record of innovation in blockchain analytics, helping institutions reduce the time and effort required to triage, investigate, and manage risk alerts without compromising decision quality. We are proud to support Bison Bank in their mission of building a secure bridge between traditional finance and the digital future.”
With this partnership, Bison Bank aims to reinforce its position as one of the most secure and reliable financial institutions for operating in the digital asset ecosystem and to reaffirm its mission of being the trusted bridge between the present and the future of finance.
