Crypto Clues 101: Triage Essentials for Government Investigators

A practical intro to recognizing crypto in your cases — and what to do next with Rapid.

A crypto address lands in your lap. It’s tied to a scam complaint, a seized device, or a line in an intel report, and you’re expected to figure out what it means. That’s where investigations often stall. You don’t know if it’s something, nothing, or worth escalating, and crypto experts aren’t always on hand. Chainalysis Rapid changes that.

Built for non-crypto experts, Rapid delivers instant, AI-powered insights in plain language. Any investigator can now triage crypto leads, decide what matters, and move faster.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What to look for: How to identify crypto clues in devices, images, documents, and reports.
• How Rapid works: Live walkthrough using just an address or QR code.
• When to escalate: Clear signals for what needs deeper analysis – and what doesn’t
• Lessons from the field: How agencies are cutting backlog and making confident decisions faster with Rapid

Who should attend: Government roles involved in investigating, intelligence, reviewing, escalating, or prosecuting crypto-related cases, especially those new to crypto or starting to build digital asset capabilities.
