Chainalysis introduced 'blockchain intelligence agents' on March 31 at its Links conference in New York, unveiling automation that embeds analyst-like reasoning into investigative and compliance workflows. The company plans a gradual summer rollout after internal testing, targeting transaction tracing, audits, and intelligence gathering as ransomware attacks rose 50% in 2025 while payments fell 8% to $820 million. The move addresses scaling challenges across fragmented chains.
