AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING ON BITCOINBitcoin is a cryptocurrency launched in January 2009 and is now the largest in terms of market capitalization (2 trillion dollars as of January 2025). Because it offers pseudo-anonymity and high liquidity (between 50 and 100 billion dollars in transactions every 24 hours), it is an ideal candidate for money laundering.
The objective of this project is to design automated analysis tools to detect money laundering across the entire Bitcoin blockchain. We encourage, without limiting ourselves to, a methodology based on detecting structural invariants in the real graph of financial flows on the Bitcoin blockchain.
