Crypto tracing services use advanced blockchain forensics tools and methods to follow the digital breadcrumbs left by transactions on the blockchain. This process, though complex and time-consuming, can assist in recovering stolen or lost funds, thereby helping to mitigate the damage of the original loss. See our Digital Assets Recovery service.

3. Due Diligence Investigations: When investing in a crypto venture or conducting transactions with a new business partner, due diligence is necessary. Blockchain forensics can assist by investigating the crypto activities of the concerned party, tracing the source of their funds, identifying any ties to illegal activities, and assessing their compliance with relevant regulations. This allows investors and businesses to make informed decisions and avoid risky engagements. See our Crypto Investigations for Due Diligence service.

Crypto investigation and blockchain forensics services can assist with an immediate investigation into the incident, tracing the movement of stolen assets, identifying potential suspects, and providing detailed reports for law enforcement. By doing so, they not only aid in potential recovery but also provide valuable information to prevent similar incidents in the future. See our Crypto Cybercrime Incident Response service.
5. Learning and Education: As the world of digital assets continues to grow and evolve, staying informed is key. Crypto Investigators can offer training sessions, workshops, and courses to individuals, businesses, and law enforcement agencies. These educational services cover a wide range of topics, from understanding blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to learning how to use investigative tools and techniques for tracing transactions, performing blockchain forensics and securing digital assets. See our Crypto Investigation Training service.
6. Compliance, AML/KYC Compliance, Regulatory Reporting: Financial institutions and crypto exchanges dealing with cryptocurrencies need to comply with various regulations like Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorist Financing (CTF) as well as Know Your Customer (KYC). Blockchain forensics can help these institutions track the source of funds, identify any connections to illicit activities, and ensure that all transactions comply with the necessary regulations. This allows the institutions to maintain transparency with regulatory bodies and avoid potential fines and legal complications. For relevant services see our Compliance Blockchain Forensics as well as services offered by our parent company Cryptosec.

Blockchain forensics services can support security audits and risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities, from weaknesses in digital wallets to possible exposure to tainted funds. By evaluating the security landscape and providing a detailed risk profile, these services can help businesses protect their digital assets and reputation.
9. Market Surveillance: As the crypto market continues to flourish, so does the risk of manipulation and fraud. Utilizing blockchain forensics, one can effectively monitor the market for abnormal trading patterns, detect manipulative tactics such as pump and dump schemes, and trace any illicit activities. This way, exchanges, regulatory bodies, and investors can safeguard the market’s integrity.
10. Anti-Corruption Investigations: In cases of suspected corruption, blockchain forensics can play a crucial role in uncovering concealed funds and illicit transactions. By tracing cryptocurrency movements, investigators can identify patterns, connections, and evidence that may point towards corruption and bribery, providing critical evidence to support legal proceedings.
11. Intellectual Property Protection: With the advent of blockchain technology, protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) has taken on a new dimension. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) that represent unique digital assets have raised IPR concerns. Crypto investigations and blockchain forensics can help by tracing the ownership and transfer of these NFTs, identifying potential IPR infringements, and providing a comprehensive audit trail for legal disputes.
16. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A): In the corporate world, due diligence is a critical aspect of M&A. If the target company has involvement in cryptocurrency transactions or holds crypto assets, blockchain forensics can be used to perform an in-depth analysis of these assets. This helps in ensuring transparency, understanding the valuation, and verifying the legitimacy of the assets involved, thereby mitigating any potential risks.
17. Family Law Disputes and Asset Discovery in Divorce Cases: In situations such as divorce proceedings, asset discovery is a common and necessary practice. However, with the rise of cryptocurrencies, some parties may attempt to hide assets within digital wallets or blockchain investments. A thorough crypto investigation and blockchain forensics can unearth hidden assets and ensure a fair division of property.
18. Cyber Insurance Claims: For insurers dealing with claims related to cyber threats such as ransomware where payment was made in cryptocurrencies, blockchain forensics can be crucial. They can trace the ransom payment, potentially identify the culprits, and contribute to the broader investigation.
19. Identity Verification: In cases where cryptocurrency transactions are integral to an identity verification process, blockchain forensics can provide an immutable and transparent record of these transactions. This can be helpful in situations where traditional forms of identity verification are insufficient or compromised.
20. Estate Planning and Inheritance: In the event of a benefactor’s passing, heirs may not be privy to all details about the deceased’s crypto assets. Crypto Investigators can trace the deceased’s digital footprint, uncover their crypto assets, and help the heirs gain rightful control.
21. Cryptocurrency Education and Research: Blockchain forensics can offer invaluable insights for educational institutions, researchers, and students studying the field of cryptocurrencies. The data obtained from such investigations can contribute to the broader understanding of blockchain technology, its uses, and its impact on various sectors.
