Stolen crypto tracing
In short
Stolen cryptocurrency rarely disappears without trace: every transaction is permanently recorded on the blockchain and can be followed.
- Paucitas is an independent blockchain expertise agency that follows stolen or misappropriated crypto across the blockchain and records the findings in a substantiated report.
- We combine on-chain analysis with administrative research to reconstruct transaction flows and map the parties involved.
- Speed matters: the sooner tracing begins, the greater the chance that funds can still be followed.
- The result is a factual, verifiable report that can be used for a police report, legal action or discussions with an exchange.
Have you fallen victim to theft or fraud and want to have your stolen crypto traced? Paucitas is an independent blockchain expertise agency that follows stolen or misappropriated cryptocurrency across the blockchain and records what it finds. We do not promise recovery of your funds, but we do establish, factually and verifiably, where the assets went and which leads are available for further steps.
What is the problem with stolen crypto?
After theft or a scam, funds are often moved on quickly through a chain of wallets, mixers and exchanges to obscure their origin. For victims this is hard to follow, but the underlying transactions remain visible on the blockchain. The challenge is not whether the data exists, but how to interpret it correctly and translate it into a usable, verifiable account.
How Paucitas traces stolen crypto
We reconstruct the transaction history from the last moment the funds were demonstrably in your possession. We follow the chain of transactions, map which services the funds flow towards, and record where possible leads lie, such as a regulated exchange where identification requirements apply. This relies on how a chain reconstruction exposes transaction flows and what blockchain analysis involves, building on the structure of a blockchain transaction.
Why speed is decisive
The longer funds remain in motion, the more often they pass through laundering routes such as mixers and exchanges, making the picture harder to read. By starting to trace stolen crypto promptly, you increase the chance that our investigators capture the relevant steps before the trail becomes obscured. We advise against attempting to recover funds yourself and against engaging anyone who promises to do so, as this is a hallmark of a recovery scam that causes victims further harm. Keep all available data: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, emails and screenshots.
Our approach step by step
An investigation begins with an intake conversation in which we establish what happened and which data is available. We then reconstruct the transaction history, follow the chain, map where the funds flow, and record any points where they connect to identifiable services. The findings are brought together in a report that is factual and verifiable, and that, where relevant, is aligned with the needs of lawyers, trustees and investigative authorities.

Frequently asked questions about stolen crypto tracing
Can you recover my stolen crypto?
We do not promise recovery. Our role is to trace and document where the funds went, so that you and your advisers have a factual, verifiable basis for any further steps, such as a police report or legal action.
How quickly should I act?
As soon as possible. The earlier tracing begins, the greater the chance that funds can still be followed before they pass through services that obscure their path. Preserve all data and avoid taking action yourself.
