Blockchain Intelligence Alert ⛓🔍
On-chain analysis has traced over $21M in high-risk funds moving through cross-chain routes since mid-2025.
• 756 BTC inflow linked to ransomware activity
• BTC → AVAX bridges used to transfer ~$4.7M to OTC endpoints
• $16.6M remains within Aave, tied to the same risk cluster
This case highlights how cross-chain protocols and DeFi platforms are increasingly leveraged to move illicit capital—reinforcing the need for stronger transparency and monitoring across OTC and decentralized ecosystems.
