Chainalysis

Google also frames the product against AI-enabled fraud.

Chainalysis found that scams linked to AI tool vendors averaged $3.2 million per operation in 2025 compared with $719,000 for other scams.

The report links the two figures, but does not prove that AI caused the difference.

Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has warned that AI could eventually find mathematical shortcuts that weaken wallet signatures.

And Seth was always a big advocate of trying to be ahead of the curve on standards, finding the different players and sort of architects on data sharing.

You know, we were some of the first to partner with like Chainalysis and TRM.

labs on attribution in different spaces.

So we got introduced into incident response, ransomware and cyber extortion response in 2017 by one of our advisory board members who is former FBI.

And a lot of that is, you know, kind of in smaller denominations.

Chainalysis, my previous employer, but I still keep up with some of the research and they put out some interesting figures recently where they tried to size cross-border stablecoin flows.

And that was, the methodology that was adopted was very conservative.

They looked at personal wallets that they could geolocate.

That would be one of my, if it's a California victim, that would be one of my first call to go to him and say, hey, do you want to take that matter on? Because the most difficult part, once you get one of these cases and it's still fresh, it's still within the first 48 hours, is getting people interested in taking these cases on.

You have firms like Chainalysis, TRM, which are crypto tracking firms you can hire.

You have financial... investigators who can who handle these kind of cases um so these are people you can reach out to to track down where your where your crypto went as long as it's still on chain sometimes it just goes to a bank account somewhere offshore it's just a fake crypto it's not really a crypto account but as long as it's really on chain you can trace it and you should involve people who can trace it Because a scammer has only so much time to really put in the next number and to trace to get it to the next wallet.

That takes time, not long, but time.

Right.

I know we're running long.

I just met with Chainalysis last week about this.

And if you're quick to move, you're right.

That's growth of roughly 52%.

per Chainalysis, making it one of the fastest growing crypto regions on the planet.

Nigeria alone received $92.1 billion, nearly triple the next country and ranks in the top 10 worldwide for grassroots adoption, first in all of sub-Saharan Africa.

Stablecoins make up 43% of the region's transaction volume, and a 2026 Stablecoin utility report found that 79% Of crypto active users in Africa hold them the highest rate of any region on earth.

and anyone can contribute to it.

And we also partner with industry experts like WIF and Chainalysis, which helps us with the KYT, KYA as well to ensure that every transaction is compliant to existing regulations and existing sanctions and existing databases.

We even go deeper into like the, you know, the dark pools, the dark net, so that in case, you know, there is a report of a potential scam or potential, you know, like someone got hacked, for example, right? And then, yeah, we make sure that that particular transaction doesn't land on Sarah as well.

So that's so far the relationship that we have with regulators.
