However, the percentage of illicit use is high enough in terms of U.S. dollars that the public sector needs to be ready to look into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, respondents said their organizations employed analysts or investigators with expertise in cryptocurrency-related investigations. According to the report, many agencies do not employ specific blockchain analysis tools, and 74 percent of respondents think their agency is underprepared to look into crimes involving cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the industry's ongoing change, Chainalysis emphasized this as a significant issue, highlighting the recent switch from centralized services to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, which are more complicated and challenging to study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" id=\"h-if-agencies-aren-t-becoming-proficient-in-cryptocurrency-investigations-now-their-knowledge-gaps-could-compound-causing-them-to-fall-further-behind-the-criminals-exploiting-cryptocurrency-regularly\"><p>\u201cIf agencies aren\u2019t becoming proficient in cryptocurrency investigations now, their knowledge gaps could compound, causing them to fall further behind the criminals exploiting cryptocurrency regularly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>More than half of the 300 respondents to the poll saw more than 10 cryptocurrency-related cases in a year, and almost 40% saw more than twenty. The most often investigated offenses using cryptocurrency were scams, fraud, narcotics, cybercrime, and ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chainalysis emphasized the necessity for reliable data supported by powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/blockchain-in-healthcare-critical-to-protect-sensitive-data-zelis-cto.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blockchain<\/a> analysis tools that enable quick and insightful data visualizations.
