Fund Tracing

Definition

‘Fund Tracing’ is the investigative process used to follow the movement of financial assets, particularly in the context of illicit activities or security breaches. In the digital asset space, this involves analyzing blockchain transaction histories to identify the flow of cryptocurrencies or tokens from their origin to their destination. This practice is vital for law enforcement, cybersecurity firms, and regulatory bodies seeking to uncover fraud, money laundering, or the recovery of stolen assets. The transparency of public ledgers facilitates this analytical endeavor.
