AI take

The tracing of stolen Bitcoin into CoinJoin transactions highlights how privacy-enhancing tools remain a primary laundering route even as analytics firms sharpen their attribution capabilities. For Bitget and its users, the split between mixed funds and the BTC sitting in labelled wallets frames the recovery question sharply: labelled holdings are actionable, while mixed coins are not. Whether the traced CoinJoin flows can be followed further, and whether the labelled balances translate into actual recovery, is the open question.
