Chainalysis announced the launch of blockchain intelligence agents designed to assist investigators and compliance teams. The tools, described as AI analysts operating at machine speed, will roll out this summer.
At its Links conference in New York City, the firm emphasized the need for advanced tools to counter growing AI-enabled financial crime. CEO Jonathan Levin stated the focus would be on scaling investigative capabilities.
The move aligns with broader industry trends, following TRM Labs’ recent release of AI assistants for crypto investigations. Chainalysis has already tested these agents in early-stage operations.
Earlier data from Chainalysis showed a 50% rise in ransomware attacks in 2025, though associated payments dropped by 8%, totaling $820 million.
