January 2026 Product Highlights: Accelerating Investigations with Intuitive Workflows

Key takeaways

  • Demixing Wasabi activity is faster. A new demix Signature® helps investigators quickly identify and visualize likely deposit and withdrawal linkages, making it easier to unwind mixer-related transaction paths.
  • Ease-of-use enhancements reduce friction in investigative workflows. New releases make it easier to plot many addresses with custom entities, keep track of high-value transactions, and monitor addresses for new inputs and outputs.
  • New blockchain coverage on Citrea, Plasma, and Tempo. TRM delivers consistent investigative and compliance capabilities with Standard support on 55+ blockchains.
  • Investigate in your preferred language. New Japanese and Korean language support in TRM Triage makes blockchain intelligence more accessible to frontline officers worldwide.

Illicit crypto activity reached an all-time high of USD 158 billion in 2025, even as it fell to 1.2% of overall on-chain transaction volume. This divergence reflects a maturing ecosystem where crypto is easier to use, more deeply embedded in global financial activity, and capable of moving value at scale — for both legitimate use cases and illicit abuse. As crypto becomes more integrated into financial infrastructure, investigators and compliance teams need tools that are fast, intuitive, and designed to reduce friction across the investigative lifecycle.

January’s product releases focus on making it easier for teams to move from signal to insight and keep pace with illicit activity as more economic value moves on chain.

New demixing Signature® for Wasabi

Cryptocurrency mixers are services designed to enhance transactional privacy by obscuring the on-chain link between senders and recipients. They function as intermediaries, pooling and redistributing funds in ways that make transaction flows more difficult to trace.

Expanding TRM’s Signatures – which use advanced machine learning to surface suspicious on-chain patterns – we’ve released a new Signature that automatically demixes Wasabi Electrum wallets. In investigating the LastPass breach, TRM analysts found more than USD 28 million in cryptocurrency that was stolen, converted to Bitcoin, and laundered through Wasabi between late 2024 and early 2025. The new demix label is generated based on proprietary wallet intelligence and heuristic models. 

Similar to how cross-chain swaps are plotted in Graph Visualizer, the demix label allows investigators to easily visualize the deposit and withdrawal transactions into and out of Wasabi – enabling investigators to unwind complex transaction paths.

Reducing friction in investigative workflows

Speed matters in crypto investigations. TRM’s user interface is designed to help teams organize data, identify key signals, and act with confidence. 

Imagine you have 25 addresses you’re investigating as part of a scam network. In TRM’s Graph Visualizer, you have the option to plot these as a custom entity or plot them as individual nodes. Plotting the addresses as a custom entity unlocks the ability to share this cluster with teammates and reuse across investigations – reducing duplication and enabling collaboration. 

As you’re tracing the flow of funds, you can select transfers and addresses of interest to automatically sum transaction values and portfolio balances – enabling you to follow the highest value flows. 

Your investigation leads you to an unhosted wallet that has consolidated funds from scam victims. Seamlessly add the address to TRM’s Detect directly from your graph and get a near real-time alert if funds move into or out the address based on custom parameters. 

This workflow is enabled by enhancements we built based on direct customer feedback. TRM continuously optimizes products and features to reduce friction and cognitive load for our users. 

Expanding blockchain coverage with Citrea, Plasma, and Tempo

As illicit actors diversify their activity across an expanding universe of chains, staying ahead depends on both speed of coverage and consistency of capabilities. TRM's industry-leading blockchain coverage now spans 150 blockchains, including newly added Standard support for Citrea, Plasma, and Tempo. 

Standard support provides core functionality across compliance and investigative use cases, inclduing:

  • Real-time risk detection and continuous monitoring with TRM Wallet Screening and TRM Transaction Monitoring
  • Entity and address intelligence in TRM Forensics
  • Automatic cross-chain tracing
  • Complete ownership and counterparty risk visibility across all categories
  • Indirect exposure detection for severe and high-risk categories
  • Real-time transaction updates

By streamlining Standard support, TRM can quickly onboard emerging blockchains while maintaining the consistency and depth that compliance programs depend on. As the crypto ecosystem evolves, our ability to rapidly support new blockchains ensures your team has the coverage and confidence to keep pace with criminal innovation.
