Abstract
Over recent decades, the global financial paradigm has experienced significant transformations, notably the emergence and adoption of cryptocurrencies. The escalating prominence of assets like Bitcoin has inadvertently catalysed a surge in illicit activities associated with the currency. Consequently, the forensic examination of transactions within blockchains becomes imperative for the detection and surveillance of malevolent undertakings. This research delineates a preliminary pipeline for a Bitcoin forensic analysis tool. Moving forward, the ambition is to conceptualize and empirically validate this tool utilizing data procured from blockchain and ancillary sources. The methodology will harness Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), clustering of Bitcoin addresses, and an exhaustive financial analysis. Upon finalizing the pipeline, the implementation of an open-source instrument is envisioned, poised to confer substantial advantages to the broader cryptocurrency milieu.
