In the latest report, Chainalysis said nearly every category of crypto crime is down so far in 2023, but added that scams have dropped the most. That report did not include the transaction volumes of several large firms that collapsed last year, including FTX, Celsius and Three Arrows Capital.
This follows a particularly crime-riddled year for the sector, as a report in January suggested that the level of crypto-based illegal activity in 2022 was the highest on record, with $20.1bn in illegal transactions reported. “In other words, there’s been a market pullback, but illicit crypto transaction volume is falling much more than legitimate crypto transaction volume,” the company said. The blockchain analysis company’s report suggests that illicit activities related to crypto is down by 65pc compared to the same period last year, while deposits made to “risky” entities are down by 42pc.Ĭhainalysis noted that transaction volumes are down “across the board” but this decline is less severe for legitimate services at 28pc. The report claims that almost every crypto-related crime is down this year, but ransomware is growing thanks to more successful attacks and a rise in ‘big-game hunting’.Ĭryptocurrency-related crime appears to be down significantly compared to last year, according to a new report by Chainalysis.
