Abstract
In this paper, we predict money laundering in Bitcoin transactions by leveraging a deep learning framework and incorporating more characteristics of Bitcoin transactions. We produced a dataset containing 46,045 Bitcoin transaction entities and 319,311 Bitcoin wallet addresses associated with them. We aggregated this information to form a heterogeneous graph dataset and propose three metapath representations around transaction entities, which enrich the characteristics of Bitcoin transactions. Then, we designed a metapath encoder and integrated it into a heterogeneous graph node embedding method. The experimental results indicate that our proposed framework significantly improves the accuracy of illicit Bitcoin transaction recognition compared with traditional methods. Therefore, our proposed framework is more conducive in detecting money laundering activities in Bitcoin transactions.
