Blockchain tracing is the process of following the transaction history of digital assets across a blockchain ledger. This analytical method helps identify the origin, movement, and destination of cryptocurrency funds. Specialized tools and techniques are employed to map transaction flows, often revealing connections between addresses and real-world entities. It serves as a vital component in forensic investigations and compliance efforts.
