Chainalysis coordinated Operation Lighthouse with Binance, Coinbase, Block and several international law enforcement agencies, including Europol, the Australian Federal Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the UK’s National Crime Agency, to track networks monetizing child sexual abuse material with cryptocurrencies. This collaboration examined 29,000 crypto addresses, targeted over 100 forums and marketplaces, and delivered more than 14,000 investigative leads to law enforcement in 125 countries.
