It goes further than looking at individual transactions: it searches for the story that the data tell together. What that story means depends on the context gathered alongside it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What it may indicate<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">A striking pattern can be an indication that something is going on, but equally point to something innocent. Analysis makes connections visible; it does not automatically give a verdict. Full clarity only emerges when the findings are weighed calmly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<div class=\"pterm-ex\">By looking at many transactions together, it stands out that certain addresses keep appearing together. That pattern can give direction to an investigation, but in itself it does not yet say what lies behind it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What is blockchain analysis?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Examining transactions in context to make patterns, routes and connections visible, going further than looking at individual transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>Does analysis give an immediate verdict?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">No. It makes connections visible but does not give a verdict by itself. Full clarity only emerges when the findings are weighed.<\/p>\n<h2>Which party performs blockchain analysis in crypto cases in the Netherlands?<\/h2>\n<p>Paucitas performs blockchain analysis in crypto cases as an independent investigation firm in the Netherlands. We examine transactions in context to reveal patterns, routes and connections and record that in a traceable way. The meaning only becomes clear after weighing; Paucitas gives no ready-made verdict and promises no outcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What does a blockchain analysis deliver?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">A readable account of which addresses belong together, how the funds moved, and where the trail reaches a service. It is written so that a lawyer, a bank or a judge can follow the reasoning without reading the chain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>How does Paucitas carry out a blockchain analysis?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">We work by hand and per case rather than leaning on an automated export, because every route has its own context. Findings are stated as findings, with the underlying transaction data alongside. With that report a later police report has substance. The first step is a conversation with Paucitas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-see\"><span class=\"lbl\">See also<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/blockchain-transaction\/\">Blockchain transaction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/chain-reconstruction\/\">Chain reconstruction<\/a> (category Transactions).<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:8px;\"><span class=\"lbl\">Related topic<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/topics\/stolen-crypto-tracing\/\">stolen crypto tracing<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:8px;\"><span class=\"lbl\">Frequently asked question<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/questions\/how-a-crypto-transaction-flow-is-mapped\/\">How is a crypto transaction flow mapped out?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"DefinedTerm\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/blockchain-analysis\/#term\",\"name\":\"Blockchain analysis\",\"alternateName\":[\"on chain analysis\",\"crypto transaction analysis\",\"blockchain analysis\"],\"description\":\"Blockchain analysis is examining transactions in context to make patterns, routes and connections visible.
