Hong Kong Police Unveil Crypto Tracking Tool—Because Crime Pays (In Bitcoin)
Hong Kong Police Unveil Crypto Tracking Tool—Because Crime Pays (In Bitcoin)

Hong Kong law enforcement just leveled up their cybercrime game with a new blockchain sleuthing tool. Forget Sherlock—this is digital forensics meets DeFi.
The move comes as crypto-related scams hit record highs, proving once again that where there’s speculative money, there’s someone scheming to steal it. The tool allegedly traces transactions across wallets, exchanges, and even mixers—because privacy coins weren’t opaque enough for regulators’ tastes.
While the tech’s exact specs remain under wraps, one thing’s clear: the cops are tired of playing whack-a-mole with anonymous wallets. Will this finally curb crypto crime? Unlikely—but it’ll make for great headlines next time a hedge fund manager ‘accidentally’ launders funds.
