C4ADS Announces New Partnership With TRM Labs
C4ADS is proud to partner with blockchain intelligence leader TRM Labs to investigate cryptocurrency flows linked to sanctions evasion, organized crime, and other illicit networks.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — C4ADS is proud to announce a new partnership with TRM Labs, the global leader in blockchain intelligence, to expand our investigative capabilities into cryptocurrency and digital asset flows tied to illicit networks.
“This partnership meaningfully deepens our shared mission to illuminate and counter illicit activity worldwide, leveraging data-driven investigations to expose sanctions evasion and transnational criminal networks,” said TRM Labs Head of Partnerships Morley Gordon.
Through this relationship, C4ADS will gain access to TRM Labs’ advanced crypto tracing platform — enabling our analysts to identify, map, and analyze digital financial transactions connected to illicit actors worldwide. The collaboration marks a significant expansion of both organizations’ open source and data-driven investigative work, allowing us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how money moves across criminal ecosystems.
“Illicit actors across the globe — from drug traffickers to scam centers to nuclear proliferators — rely heavily on crypto payments to obscure their activities. If you’re unable to follow the money, even the best open source investigations will only get half the picture,” said C4ADS Lead Analyst Tim Doner. “We’re now building out that other half. TRM’s crypto tracing products allow us to see in minute detail how illicit actors move money worldwide. When we combine those analytics with our in-house expertise, we get a fuller picture — one that helps our partners in government, civil society, and the private sector better track the evolving criminal landscape.”
By combining TRM Labs’ blockchain intelligence with C4ADS’ investigative methodologies, this partnership aims to support investigations across a wide range of issue areas and deliver more comprehensive analysis for policymakers, regulators, and enforcement partners confronting increasingly complex and digitalized criminal networks.
