⚠️ILLEGAL CRYPTO ACTIVITY MAKES UP LESS THAN 1% OF ONCHAIN VOLUME: BINANCE REPORT
Binance Research estimates illicit crypto transactions account for under 1% of total on-chain activity, even as more than $75B in illicit funds reportedly remained on-chain in 2025, up roughly 28% from last year.
The report noted that major crypto mixers have limited capacity, meaning laundering even $1B in stolen funds could take over 100 days, while blockchain transparency still allows investigators to continuously trace more than 80% of illicit fund flows.
