The Bitget $387 million hack was traced across multiple blockchains using AI-accelerated investigation by Chainalysis, compressing manual tracing from 20 hours to under 10 minutes and tracking cross-chain liquidity moves by North Korean actors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3 and AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your crypto compliance and security tools must now include AI-driven cross-chain tracing as failure to keep up exposes you to laundering risk and regulatory scrutiny. Blockchain attackers are using complex multi-chain routes, so automating manual tracking will be essential to protect and reassure customers.
