⚡️ Chainalysis: The scale of money laundering in cryptocurrency is expected to soar to a record $82 billion by 2025. Chainalysis's latest report reveals an astonishing trend: the amount of money laundered through blockchain has increased eightfold over the past five years—from $10 billion in 2020 to over $82 billion in 2025. 📈 Key Points: 🔹 Crypto laundering as a service: Money laundering has fully evolved into a global service industry with professional infrastructure. 🔹 The trace of the 'Chinese web': About 20% ($16.1 billion) of illegal activities are concentrated in shadow networks operating in Chinese. The growth rate of these networks even exceeds the inflow of funds into DeFi and centralized exchanges. 🔹 Connection to offline crime: Analysts emphasize that these networks are closely linked to real-world criminal activities (from cybercrime to large-scale fraud). Despite increasing regulatory scrutiny and ongoing sanctions, criminals continue to seek new ways to hide the sources of funds by leveraging the market's high liquidity. This is an important signal for the entire industry: compliance and monitoring tools are no longer simply formalities, but necessary conditions for the survival of the ecosystem. Do you think new regulatory measures in 2026 can curb this growth? Feel free to comment below 👇 #Chainalysis #CryptoNews #Compliance #BlockchainAnalytics #Web3 $BTC
