Elliptic launches ai tool to help police trace crypto
Elliptic has launched Pulse, an ai-assisted front-line tool that lets any law enforcement officer paste a wallet address or transaction hash and receive a plain-language risk summary within seconds. Pulse cross-references Elliptic's dataset spanning more than 65 blockchains, over 250 bridges and more than 1 billion attributed addresses, including those flagged for sanctions or terrorism financing, and it gives risk indicators with recommendations to escalate. Assessments flow into Elliptic's Lens platform for specialist follow-up. Pulse is part of a suite including Decode and follows recent training work and operational support in 2026.
Frontline officers can get instant risk summaries for crypto addresses.
Context
Many crypto investigations stall because patrol officers lack tracing skills. Elliptic built Pulse and other tools and trained police in 2026. Agencies could use Pulse more and send complex cases to specialists.
