Chainalysis expands onchain investigations with automated tools

Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has launched a new automation feature aimed at widening access to onchain investigations and compliance workflows.

The feature, called Workflows, allows non-technical teams to run blockchain analyses without writing custom code.

Chainalysis said the tool uses predefined templates to standardise and repeat common investigative processes.

“What previously required technical expertise and lots of time can now be done by any user in minutes,”

Ekim Buyuk said.

Buyuk added that fraud networks are rapidly adopting new technologies, including AI, to scale their operations.

Chainalysis research shows AI-enabled scams extract more than four times as much value from victims.

The company said blockchain analysis can reveal large fraud networks even when individual losses appear small.

A recent Chainalysis report estimated crypto scams and fraud drained about $17 billion in 2025.

Investigators noted a rise in impersonation schemes, AI-driven scams and professional laundering networks.

Security firms reported that overall crypto hacking losses fell sharply in December despite persistent scam activity.
