Token Movement Tracing

Definition

Token movement tracing is the process of following the transactional history of digital assets on a blockchain. This analytical technique involves examining the public ledger to identify the origin, destination, and intermediate transfers of specific cryptocurrencies or tokens. It is used for various purposes, including forensic investigations into illicit activities, compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, and market analysis to understand supply distribution. The transparent nature of most public blockchains facilitates this tracking.
