According to Golden Finance, Chainalysis's 2025 "Crypto Crime Report" released by Chainalysis shows that crypto crime has entered an era of specialization led by artificial intelligence-powered scams, stablecoin money laundering and efficient network groups, with illegal transactions reaching $51 billion in the past year, breaking previous records. Preliminary estimates show that crypto crime has declined in 2024. But more in-depth analysis shows that this is not the case: criminals have adopted advanced money laundering technologies, relying on stablecoins, DeFi and artificial intelligence-driven deception, creating the illusion of reduced crime.
