Blockchain law: Anonymous no more: Blockchain analytics in the courts
New York Law Journal
Blockchain transactions are often said to be anonymous or at least pseudonymous—but are they really? At least for some users, part of the appeal of using cryptocurrency is the perceived anonymity it seemingly offers.
