Binance Research: In 2025, Approximately 11% of Illegal Crypto Transactions Were Seized, a Seizure Rate 55 Times Higher than Fiat Currency

Odaily报道，Binance Research released a report stating that cryptocurrencies are not a safe haven for illegal finance. In 2025, approximately 11% of the volume of illegal cryptocurrency transactions was seized, roughly 55 times the recovery rate for fiat currency. This data comes from public reports by institutions such as Tether, Interpol, and the T3 Financial Crime Unit, and is not an estimate from a single agency. For reference, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that less than 1% of the global annual volume of illegal fiat transactions is seized. Even excluding approximately $15 billion worth of Bitcoin involved in the Prince Group case, the remaining cryptocurrency seizures in 2025 are still about 10 times that of the traditional financial system.
