Illicit crypto volumes have been diminishing year-over-year, with scams making the largest drop, pagal to a report by blockchain analytic firm Chainalysis.
Chainalysis nukreiptas iš:
„Bendros pajamos iš sukčiavimo 2022 m. šiuo metu siekia 1.6 mlrd. USD, ty 65 % mažesnės nei 2021 m. liepos mėn. pabaigoje, ir atrodo, kad šis sumažėjimas yra susijęs su mažėjančiomis kainomis skirtingomis valiutomis.

The blockchain analytic firm pointed out that the drop in scam revenue might be linked to Bitcoin’s bearish momentum, which has seen the leading cryptocurrency decline by at least 64% from its all-time high (ATH) price of $69K recorded in November last year.
Chainalysis added:
“Since January 2022, scam revenue has fallen more or less in line with Bitcoin pricing. And as we see on the chart below, it’s not just scam revenue falling — the cumulative number of individual transfers to scams so far in 2022 is the lowest it’s been in the past four years.”

Therefore, the report highlighted that people falling for crypto scams have nosedived. The other area that has seen illicit volume drop is the darknet market.
Nevertheless, the tale is different regarding hacking and stolen funds because this is an illegal crypto activity area that has been going through the roof. Chainalysis pointed out:
“No area of cryptocurrency-based crime is bucking the 2022 trend of declining revenue like stolen funds.”
