In partnership with the @SingaporePolice, our blockchain analysis tools helped detect 90+ scam victims and prevent over $2.86M in losses during a one-month anti-scam operation across major crypto exchanges. When law enforcement have the right tools and real-time collaboration, scammers lose the anonymity they're counting on.

The ~$292M @KelpDAO bridge exploit wasn't a smart contract bug—it was an attack on off-chain infrastructure. Hackers tricked the system into releasing rsETH without a matching burn upstream. Read our breakdown on the exploit & the need for invariant monitoring: chainalysis.com/blog/kelpdao-b…

Today, the @IWFhotline released alarming new data: commercial child sexual abuse sites have doubled in a single year — from 7,028 to over 15,031 — with criminals offering “on-demand premium access” to children’s suffering. Cryptocurrency was identified as a payment method across more than 1,000 of those URLs. This echoes what we found in the Chainalysis 2026 Crypto Crime Report: crypto flows to suspected human trafficking services surged 85% year-over-year, CSAM operations have industrialized into subscription-based models, and these networks are deeply integrated with sophisticated money laundering infrastructure. But here’s what makes crypto different from cash: blockchain’s transparency is also its greatest tool for disruption. Unlike untraceable cash payments, every on-chain transaction creates a permanent, auditable trail. That gives law enforcement, compliance teams, and organizations the ability to detect patterns, trace funds, and dismantle these networks at a scale that was never possible before. The fight against the exploitation of children requires coordinated action across tech, financial services, law enforcement, and policy. Chainalysis will continue to collaborate with the IWF and law enforcement to investigate and disrupt the financial infrastructure behind CSAM. 🔗 IWF Annual Report: bit.ly/3Qhi4st 🔗 Chainalysis Research: bit.ly/3O6Yuhq

"You simply can't secure and protect what you don't see...attackers only need to catch one. But for security vendors like us, we have to catch them all." -Xue Yin Pe, Senior Intelligence Analyst, @chainalysis

Hybrid finance isn't a destination. It's a transition — and we're halfway through it. This morning at @money2020 Asia, Fireblocks' Policy Director Dea Markova joined Xue Yin Pe (@chainalysis), Alvin Chia (@NorthernTrust), Cora Ang (@AMINABankGlobal) & Arianne Tarrer (Tala) to tackle the hard questions: How do you build trust in a zero-trust world? Who sets the rules when regulators can't agree? And when does "hybrid finance" just become... finance?

🎧How has cybercrime evolved into a massive, marketplace-driven ecosystem? In the newest episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host Sherrod DeGrippo sits down with Maurice Mason and Jackie Burns-Koven, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Chainalysis! Together, they dive deep into the rise of cybercrime-as-a-service, the blurring lines between nation-state actors and criminal networks, and how blockchain intelligence is becoming a critical tool for tracking illicit crypto and disrupting major threat operations.
