• Abstract: The decentralized finance (DeFi) community has grown rapidly in recent years, pushed forward by cryptocurrency enthusiasts interested in the vast untapped potential of new markets. The surge in popularity of cryptocurrency has ushered in a new era of financial crime. Unfortunately, the novelty of the technology makes the task of catching and prosecuting offenders particularly challenging. Thus, it is necessary to implement automated detection tools related to policies to address the growing criminality in the cryptocurrency realm.

  This paper proposes Inspection-L, a graph neural network (GNN) framework based on self-supervised Deep Graph Infomax (DGI), with Random Forest (RF) to detect illicit transactions for Anti-Money laundering (AML) To the best of our knowledge, our proposal is the first of applying self-supervised GNNs to the problem of AML in Bitcoin. The proposed method has been evaluated on the Elliptic dataset and shows that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of key classification metrics.

  This paper performs an in-depth analysis of two market manipulations organized by communities over the Internet: The pump and dump and the crowd pump. The pump and dump scheme is a fraud as old as the stock market. Now, it got new vitality in the loosely regulated market of cryptocurrencies. We report on three case studies related to pump and dump groups.

  A proof of work (PoW) is an important cryptographic construct enabling a party to convince others that they invested some effort in solving a computational task. In this work, we examine the hardness of finding such chain of PoWs against quantum strategies. We prove that the chain of PoWs problem reduces to a problem we call multi-solution Bernoulli search, for which we establish its quantum query complexity.
