TRM’s 2026 Crypto Crime Report: A Record $158 Billion in Illicit Flows-Because Who Needs Rules? 🎩
On January 10, TRM dropped a bombshell in its upcoming 2026 Crypto Crime Report, revealing that illicit cryptocurrency inflows hit an all-time high of $158 billion in 2025-145% higher than last year! 📉📈 The report, penned by the TRM Team, notes that while the absolute volume surged, its share of total crypto activity dipped to a measly 1.2% of overall volume. How quaint! 💸
The findings? A masterclass in chaos. Sanctions-related flows-particularly Russia-linked stablecoin A7A5, which moved over $72 billion-have become the new norm. Nation-state actors like Iran and Venezuela are now playing the crypto game with all the subtlety of a drunken diplomat. TRM claims this is due to “intensified enforcement” and the Beacon Network’s “faster attribution.” Oh, how the tables have turned! 🕵️♂️
