When someone falls victim to a crypto scam, their first question is always the same:
“Where did my money go?”

The challenge is that scammers move funds quickly through multiple wallets, exchanges, and networks. But with the right tools and process, crypto asset tracing can reveal exactly how the scam operated — and whether recovery options still exist.

1. What Investigators Look For

Asset tracing starts with the victim’s evidence:

  • Wallet addresses

  • Transaction IDs

  • Platform screenshots

  • Chat logs

  • Deposit instructions

  • Withdrawal failures

This information helps identify starting points on the blockchain.

2. Mapping the Flow of Funds

Professional tracing identifies:

  • The scammer’s receiving wallet

  • Subsequent transfers

  • Exchange deposits

  • High-value consolidation points

  • Network jumps (BTC → USDT, TRC20 → ERC20, etc.)

These movements help determine whether funds touched regulated exchanges — a key element in recovery attempts.

3. Why Blockchain Helps You

Unlike traditional banking fraud, blockchain activity is permanent. Even if a scammer disappears, the wallet trail does not.
