Chainalysis Deploys AI Agents Trained on 10 Million Investigations to Fight Crypto Crime — As AI-Powered Scams Hit $4.6 Billion

Chainalysis introduced blockchain intelligence agents at Links 2026, trained on 10 million+ Reactor investigations spanning a decade. The agents automate alert enrichment, generate defensible investigation reports, collect OSINT, and orchestrate team workflows — all using natural language. The announcement arrives as AI-enabled crypto scams hit record levels: $17 billion stolen in 2025, AI-powered fraud 4.5x more profitable than traditional methods, and deepfake-driven scams accounting for $4.6 billion. This is AI versus AI — the same technology enabling fraud at scale is now being deployed to investigate it.
