ACAMS and Chainalysis expand crypto-crime compliance training program as 2025 scam losses reach $17B.
Regulation & Gov ·
ACAMS and Chainalysis have expanded their joint financial-crime training program, responding to rising crypto fraud losses. The expansion comes after Chainalysis estimated $17 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen through scams and fraud in 2025.
The partnership signals growing institutional and regulatory interest in building compliance infrastructure within crypto markets. Formal training and crime-detection frameworks have become a priority as the sector faces persistent security threats and regulatory scrutiny.
It remains unclear what specific new elements the expanded program will include, how many institutions will participate, or whether the training rollout has a defined timeline.
