Prediction market platform Polymarket has partnered with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to monitor trading activity and detect potential insider trading. The collaboration introduces onchain tools to flag suspicious patterns amid rising regulatory scrutiny. Polymarket announced the move on Thursday.
Cryptocurrency transactions linked to suspected human trafficking operations reached hundreds of millions of dollars in 2025, an 85% increase from 2024, as detailed in Chainalysis's 2026 Crypto Crime Report—which documented a record $154 billion in overall illicit crypto activity. The surge is linked to Southeast Asia-based scam compounds, online gambling sites, and Chinese-language money laundering networks. Blockchain transparency aids detection amid these rising threats.

A new report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reveals that Chinese-language money laundering networks processed $16.1 billion in illicit cryptocurrency funds last year, accounting for about 20% of all known crypto laundering activity. These Telegram-based operations have grown dramatically since 2020, outpacing other laundering channels by thousands of times. The findings highlight the networks' role in facilitating global crime while evading enforcement efforts.
