PANews February 27th news, according to Cointelegraph, Chainalysis's 2025 "Crypto Crime Report" released shows that crypto crime has entered a professional era dominated by artificial intelligence-powered scams, stablecoin money laundering and efficient network groups, with illegal transactions in the past year reaching US$51 billion, breaking previous records. Preliminary estimates show that crypto crime has declined in 2024.
