No single tool solves the mission alone. In this session, Chainalysis partners showcase how their solutions and integrations extend the reach of blockchain intelligence, includingconnecting data, streamlining workflows, and giving investigators and analysts a more complete picture. Hear how the broader ecosystem is being built around the needs of the public sector, and see how these integrations translate into faster, sharper, and more effective outcomes for the mission.
Chainalysis Co-Founder and CEO Jonathan Levin and Chainalysis Government Solutions Director of Product Strategy Beth Bisbee opens Trace DC with a look at the forces reshaping the crypto economy, from regulatory clarity to institutional adoption. He will set the stage for how government, industry, and law enforcement are building trust in digital assets together.
Every investigation rests on a foundational question: what is a cluster, and can you trust it? In this session, Jacob Illum pulls back the curtain on the science and standards behind Chainalysis clustering, from the on-chain structural soundness that proves addresses belong to the same wallet, to the beneficiary attribution and operator analysis that connect a wallet to a real-world entity. You'll see why a conservative, transparent methodology is built to be reliable, actionable, and defensible when it matters most.
Ransomware operators, nation-state hackers, and cybercriminal syndicates count on operating in the shadows, but the partnership between government, cybersecurity, and blockchain intelligence is more effective than ever. In this public-private panel discussion, hear how shared intelligence, coordinated disruption, and creative legal and financial tools are making the cyber underground a much less comfortable place to operate.
From sanctions enforcement and financial intelligence to criminal investigations and counter-terrorism finance, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sits at the center of the global fight against illicit finance. As digital assets reshape how value moves across borders, this panel will explore how Treasury's components are evolving in lockstep; sharing intelligence, sharpening tools, and coordinating action at unprecedented speed and scale.
From crypto-ransom in the Strait of Hormuz to IRGC financing and sanctions evasion, Iran's use of digital assets is fueling a growing conflict. This session shows how Chainalysis intelligence, enhanced data collection efforts, and the emergence of AI technology, are helping the U.S. and its allies see where the adversary is, where the money is moving, and how to disrupt the network.
AI is reshaping investigative work faster than almost any technology before it, and the federal agencies leading the charge are already imagining what comes next. Hear from senior leaders on how they're scaling AI across their workforces, what the next generation of investigative agents and copilots will look like, and how government and industry can build the future of investigations together.
Blockchain isn't just a target for theft, it's becoming an operational tool for cybercriminals. This session goes beyond traditional crypto crime to explore how threat actors are weaponizing blockchain as command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, abusing on-chain mechanisms, and evolving their laundering playbooks, including the rise of Chinese money laundering networks. Packed with real-world case studies, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the threats operating beneath the surface of the blockchain.
The biggest wins against crypto crime aren't theoretical, they're the product of sharp investigators, the right tools, and relentless follow-through. In this session, the agents and analysts behind some of the year's most consequential cases walk through how they did it: from first lead to final disruption. Across three back-to-back case studies spanning money laundering, transnational drug trafficking, and organized crime, you'll see the tradecraft, the turning points, and the lessons you can take straight back to your own investigations.
The hardest attribution decisions rarely come with a smoking gun. In this session, Chainalysis Government Solutions intelligence investigators take you inside their analytical process including how they weigh incomplete signals, test competing hypotheses, and reach defensible conclusions when concrete evidence is missing. Through a series of real-world case studies spanning wallet expansion, ransomware payments, unclustered services, laundering networks, and nation-state activity, you'll see how experienced analysts move from uncertainty to confident, actionable judgment, and how to sharpen that same instinct in your own investigations.
Some of the most important intelligence in the fight against crypto crime comes from the platforms themselves, the exchanges and industry investigations teams that detect illicit activity first, at scale, and every day. In this industry-led session, leaders from across the crypto ecosystem share what they're seeing on the front lines and how they partner with government to act on it.

States aren't waiting on federal action, they're already building and enforcing their own digital asset frameworks. This two-part session first explores how state regulators are approaching oversight and what the industry can learn from them, then showcases Chainalysis's vision for modern oversight: the data capabilities and purpose-built tooling designed to help regulators regulate with confidence in a fast-moving market.
