6 Even when criminals do use mainstream exchanges, law enforcement must obtain cooperation from the exchanges, which can be difficult due to legal jurisdiction, compliance constraints, and other factors. Decision intelligence- With crypto being used by criminals to facilitate diverse types of crime and to launder the illicit profits, crypto investigations are no longer siloed but are now part of complex, cross-domain investigations. Decision intelligence platforms enable authorities to fuse data from multiple systems and sources including blockchain analytics, open-source intelligence, financial transactions and more. This enables investigators to construct a full picture of all suspects, organizations, companies and financial accounts involved and to map out the money trail and uncoverhidden connections and insights. In these more complex scenarios, authorities require blockchain analytics solutions which: + De-anonymize wallet owners and transaction makers suspected of illicit activity, despite obstacles which impede traditional blockchain analysis tools, such as illicit exchanges, mixers, shapeshifters and privacy coins. + Remove the need for cooperation from third parties such as exchanges, CSPs and wallet application vendors, who may not cooperate or may complicate confidential or time- sensitive investigations. + Provide a holistic profile of suspects by tracking suspects’ crypto activity and behavior over time, allowing investigators to understand their methods of operation, including which devices and wallets they use. + Tap into intelligence data sources beyond open-source data and publicly available information. 6 + What is the volume of cryptocurrency transactions in your country, and how much is connected to illicit activities? + Does your organization have the ability to de-anonymize crypto wallets and transaction makers involved in criminal activities?
