Learn to investigate cryptocurrency crime: from identifying the first red flag to producing court-ready, defensible evidence.
A c4 certified Cryptocurrency Crime Analyst (CCA) is a professional trained to detect, trace, attribute & present blockchain-based criminal activity from the first red flag to defensible evidence in court.
Fees (India): INR 45,000 + GSTA Cryptocurrency Crime Analyst works at the intersection of technology, finance, and law enforcement. The role spans the full investigative lifecycle:
Detecting early red flags in wallets, transactions, platforms, or communications. Tracing illicit fund flows across blockchains, exchanges, and bridges. Linking technical evidence to real-world actors. Preserving evidence during live investigations and seizures. Translating complex blockchain activity into defensible legal narratives.CCA is built around this end-to-end reality: from first suspicion to courtroom presentation.
Cryptocurrency crime has moved from the fringes of cybercrime to the center of modern financial investigations.
What began as isolated cases of darknet markets and early exchange hacks has evolved into a complex threat landscape involving cross-border fraud, ransomware, DeFi exploits, laundering networks, and organized crime.
Investigating these crimes requires more than tools. It requires a structured way of thinking. One that understands blockchain systems, human behavior, legal process & evidentiary rigor as a single discipline.
This is the gap the Cryptocurrency Crime Analyst (CCA) program is designed to fill.
Cryptocurrency investigations are no longer confined to specialist cyber units. The CCA program is designed for professionals who already deal with risk, evidence, or financial systems, including:
Police & Tax Officers
The common thread is not background, but investigative responsibility.
