Problem
Cryptocurrency transactions are often exploited for illicit activities, including money laundering, fraud, and cyberattacks, due to the pseudonymous nature of blockchain technology. This poses significant challenges for law enforcement, regulators, financial institutions, and exchanges in detecting, preventing, and investigating crypto-related crimes.
