Canadians are sending more money abroad on crypto rails, ranking first for cross-border flows in our big money index.
Stablecoin and bitcoin transfers from Canada to India, the Philippines and China rose 141% YoY to $2.36B. Nearly one in five dollars of Canada's outbound cross-border stablecoin value now goes to those three countries. The average remittance size was $663.
The World Bank puts the average cost of sending money from Canada near 6.7%, with banks above 7%. A stablecoin transfer settles for a cent or less, which makes using those rails for regular payments a much cheaper option.

On April 1, 2026, the Drift exploiter sent funds from five exploit wallets into a stopover wallet across 13 transactions. The wallet then sat dormant until today.
Today, $61.5M moved from that wallet into Tornado Cash in 100 ETH tranches.
We are continuing to monitor the situation.
The Drift Protocol exploiter, who stole over $270M, is moving $ETH to #TornadoCash after 2 months of inactivity.
Over the past 2 hours, the exploiter has deposited 25,700 $ETH ($61.56M) into #TornadoCash and still holds 81,864 $ETH ($195M).

44% in June 2026, up from 30% a year earlier and ahead of store of value assets at 29%. ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 dominates the stablecoin share.

Private credit is hard to sell. Tokenization can give holders a way to borrow against it.
The number of wallets lending tokenized private credit grew 1,618% in the 2026 reporting period. The number lending tokenized Treasuries fell 23%.
Treasury holders already have established financing routes. For illiquid private credit, using tokenized positions as collateral offers a way to access cash without selling.
Tokenization adds value when it makes hard-to-sell assets usable as collateral.

Categories include Equities (+21,700%), Private Credit (+1,618%), Non-US Government Debt (+1,100%), Commodities (+875%), and Active Strategies (-35%). The x-axis represents changes in log scale percentages, with key indicators for both previous and current periods.

Tokenization is widening the overseas market for US government debt.
In our 2026 data, Italy, Portugal, and Singapore hold 66.9% of geolocated tokenized Treasury values. The US: 10.5%.
Tokenization lowers minimum position size and removes the need for a US brokerage relationship, giving overseas investors another route to US government debt.

The map uses a color gradient from light to dark to show relative value, with the United States, Canada, and several European countries in dark blue, indicating high holdings. Other regions like South America and Africa are light-colored, suggesting lower holdings.

Tokenized corporate credit grew 3,156%. Private equity grew 1,340%. US Treasuries grew 125%.
Of the three, Treasuries added the most in dollar terms: $8.56B, reaching $15.42B.
The market is diversifying around US government debt, not away from it.

The US is exporting digital dollars and importing bitcoin.
99.1% of stablecoin order book trading volume is in dollar-pegged tokens. Stablecoins represent a smaller share of US crypto activity than elsehwere.
Stablecoins let users hold dollars without having a US bank account. US users generally have easier access to dollar banking, making that benefit less pressing at home
Bitcoin shows the reverse pattern. The US share of global bitcoin activity has risen every reporting period since spot bitcoin ETFs launched in Jan 2024. In 2026, the US became a net importer of bitcoin for the first time since 2022.
Together, these trends benefit the US market: stabelcoins extend the dollar's global reach, while imported bitcoin is accumulated in the US.

The US leads in AI agent payments on x402.
Building agentic software takes three kinds of inputs: a model to think with, tools to act with, and data to work from.
on x402, American wallets account for 88.1% of the payments to AI models that we can geolocate. 41.8% of payments to agent frameworks and tool catalogs. 23.2% of payments to data and search APIs.
The US also holds a 30% share of all the agent-to-service transactions we can geolocate, more than any other country.
Agentic commerce is growing fast.
Cumulative x402 transactions on @base: 58.8k in Q3 2025. 138.5M in Q3 2026.
Transactions under a dollar do not make fiscal sense for a credit card network. Stablecoins that settle for under a cent do, so AI agents can pay per API call.

One of the biggest victims of the Ledger theft was a scammer themselves. They lost more than 60BTC, about $4.8M. The funds were from a task scam.
In this task scam, people were paid to fake sales and reviews of real items. Then a "negative balance" appeared, and they were told to add their own money in order to get paid.
On Sep 22, the person behind the scam moved the proceeds into three separate Ledger addresses. On Oct 9, thieves emptied all three. One transfer each, into the same wallet. The wallet is reported as stolen funds.
Chainalysis is actively investigating reports of funds stolen from holders of Ledger products. Our analysts have developed an overview of a sophisticated cross-chain laundering operation. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Scams are a multi-billion dollar global industry, larger than the cocaine trade.
We mapped how Xinbi Guarantee sold scam operators everything in one place: stolen data, deepfake software, fake accounts, websites, and laundering services.
US authorities then seized it.

Last month, the D.C. Circuit upheld a lower court’s decision to admit Chainalysis Reactor evidence in court, affirming that it meets the Daubert standard for the admissibility of expert testimony.
This is more than a legal milestone. It provides further validation of the methodology underpinning our platform as we continue to build the next generation of blockchain intelligence.
As blockchain analytics becomes more powerful, the stakes only increase. More organizations are relying on attribution data for high-stakes decisions, putting greater pressure on the methodology behind each attribution. When the foundation is flawed, greater scale only magnifies the problem.
This new ruling reinforces that our methodology stands up to scrutiny when it matters most.
