<p>The study also mentions that a significant gap in the trading of the entire crypto market was also observed due to the decline in crypto money laundering. Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges remain the most preferred choice for receiving funds from illicit addresses.</p>

<p>However, a significant surge in illicit transactions is shifting towards decentralized exchanges, as they are claimed to be safer compared to centralized exchanges. The firm further details the growing use of a new mixer, YoMix, following the takedown of Sinbad.</p>
<p>Chainalysis argued in its report that the infamous Lazarus Group of North Korea also uses the same miner, YoMix, to launder Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies following the hacks or thefts.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The total amount of funds transferred in the crypto mixers in 2023 is $504 Billion, which is comparatively less than in 2022. The bad actors are troubling the entire crypto market and wiping out over $500 Million yearly.</p>
<p>Chainalysis noted in conclusion, “The changes in money laundering strategy we’ve seen from crypto criminals like Lazarus Group serve as an important reminder that the most sophisticated illicit actors are always adapting their money laundering strategy and exploiting new kinds of crypto services.”</p>
<p>“Law enforcement and compliance teams can be more effective by studying these new laundering methods and becoming familiar with the on-chain patterns associated with them,” it added.</p>
