Chainalysis Report Highlights Persistent Challenges in Combating Advanced Crypto Money Laundering Techniques

How law enforcement struggles with sophisticated crypto laundering

The new Chainalysis money laundering report further adds to findings from the recent past that have shown how law enforcement and crypto-related services face continued challenges due to advanced crypto laundering techniques.

Sophisticated money-laundering techniques remain one of the major setbacks for law-enforcement agencies and service providers to cryptocurrency, with more revelations coming into play through a report by Chainalysis.

An “Anti-Money Laundering and Cryptocurrency Report” published by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis on July 11 brought to light the fact that every month billions flow through the crypto ecosystem from illicit wallets to conversion services. Advanced flow methodology clearly hides sources and movement of such funds.

Masking the trail

The other popular method was through the use of intermediary wallets, which obscured the flow of dirty money. Hops are great in making the flow of funds difficult to trace; more than 80% of the total value in the laundering channels flowed via these intermediary wallets. The use of such transactions is further complicated by the increased use of stablecoins, like Tether USDT, in these transactions and the inherent risks that pose for launderers, as the issuers can freeze stablecoin funds.

A case in point, according to the report: the June 2023 Atomic Wallet exploit was channeled by North Korea’s TraderTraitor hacker group and is one of the ways that such tactics are now being used in crypto-native laundering.

This incident illustrates the advanced methods used to conceal funds that had been obtained illegally, making it illustrative of the persistent challenge facing investigators.
