Chainalysis: Less than 1% of funds on the chain are related to illegal activities

Eric Jardines, the head of research at blockchain analysis company Chainalysis, stated that although the amount of cryptocurrency involved in criminal activities is significant in terms of US dollars, the proportion is relatively small: less than 1% of the on-chain value is related to illegal activities. In addition, fraudulent schemes such as "Ponzi schemes" are currently the mainstream means of cryptocurrency crime.
