Chainalysis Identifies $75 Billion in Seizable Crypto Held in Illicit Activity

Recent research from Chainalysis has highlighted the potential for governments to seize billions of dollars in cryptocurrency connected to criminal activity. The report estimates that illicit crypto holdings exceed $75 billion, with approximately $15 billion directly held by illegal entities and over $60 billion held in wallets linked to them. This significant amount of potentially recoverable on-chain assets could have implications for national cryptocurrency reserve discussions underway across the globe.
