🕵️ Binance Research said illicit crypto transactions account for less than 1% of total on-chain transaction volume.
As of 2025, more than $75 billion in illicit funds remained on-chain, up about 28% from 2024. Major mixers have limited daily processing capacity, meaning that laundering $1 billion in stolen funds could take more than 100 days.
Additionally, over 80% of illicit on-chain funds have been moved to downstream addresses, but blockchain ledgers still allow fund flows to be continuously traced.
