Chainalysis

We have been receiving inquiries about the Chainalysis metrics cited in a recent Binance announcement and blog (links in comments). To clarify: - This analysis was conducted by Binance based on select Chainalysis data. Chainalysis did not conduct the analysis. - The data Binance used for their analysis does not appear to include all categories of illicit activity that Chainalysis tracks; for example, it does not include ransomware and funds stolen in hacks. - The Binance analysis also indicates that it is based on direct exposure only; in other words, if an illicit entity sends funds to a personal wallet, and then that wallet sends funds to Binance, it is not included in this analysis. 

Today, Chainalysis signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UAE Cyber Security Council during CyberQ 2025 in Dubai. We are honoured to partner with the Cyber Security Council, and industry partners, to support the UAE’s efforts in protecting its critical infrastructure and national security. The MoU outlines our commitment to contribute our expertise in advanced blockchain analytics, crypto investigations, and cyber threat intelligence to help advance national and international cooperation in cyberspace. This collaboration reinforces our long-standing commitment to supporting the UAE’s strategic vision for cybersecurity, digital resilience, and the fight against cybercrime across the UAE and globally.
