A Chainalysis report reveals that over $75 billion in cryptocurrency linked to criminal activity is currently traceable on public blockchains. As of July 2025, wallets directly associated with illicit entities hold nearly $15 billion in Bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins, marking a 359% increase since 2020. Bitcoin constitutes approximately 75% of these illicit balances. Additionally, Chainalysis identified over $60 billion in 'downstream' wallets receiving significant inflows from illicit sources. The report underscores the urgency for enhanced seizure powers and international cooperation to recover these assets.
