A new report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reveals a disturbing trend in the use of digital assets for illicit activities. According to the latest data, cryptocurrency flows to addresses suspected of being linked to human trafficking services surged by 85% in 2025 compared to the previous year. The report highlights that while overall crypto-related crime volumes have shown signs of stabilization in other sectors, the financial activity supporting human trafficking has reached record levels. Chainalysis attributes this jump to several factors, including the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies by transnational criminal organizations and the utilization of decentralized platforms to obfuscate the flow of funds. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced monitoring by regulatory bodies and more robust collaboration between crypto exchanges and global law enforcement agencies to disrupt these criminal networks and protect vulnerable populations.
