Illicit actors now jump chains at will—BTC, ETH, TRON, and new protocols—using mixers, privacy tools, and rapid cross-chain swaps to blur trails. At the same time, investigators are leveling up with better tooling, tighter partnerships, and faster playbooks.

Trends to watch

• Complex paths: multi-chain laundering is the default, not the exception.
• Crime-as-a-Service: turnkey laundering kits for lower-tier scammers.
• Regulatory coordination: cross-border actions (e.g., Serengeti 2.0) show that intelligence-led ops work—and mandates for real-time monitoring are rising.
• Public–private network: forensic firms + intel providers + law enforcement make hiding harder.
