ChangeNOW Investigation Services
Trace funds through ChangeNOW instant swaps. Expert analysis correlating cross-chain transactions to maintain fund trails through no-KYC swap services.
Instant Swap Investigation
ChangeNOW is one of the largest instant cryptocurrency swap services, enabling exchange between 900+ cryptocurrencies without account registration. This no-KYC, cross-chain capability makes it popular for legitimate privacy needs—and for illicit fund movement attempting to break blockchain trails.
Investigating funds that pass through ChangeNOW requires specialized techniques. Unlike on-chain transactions with direct links, instant swaps create a gap that must be bridged through correlation analysis. We use timing, amount matching, and pattern recognition to establish probable connections between swap inputs and outputs.
Our ChangeNOW investigation services identify when funds interact with the service, correlate transactions across chains, and continue tracing to ultimate destinations. While instant swaps add complexity, they don't make funds untraceable—just harder to follow without proper expertise.

ChangeNOW Investigation FAQ
What is ChangeNOW and why is it relevant to investigations?
ChangeNOW is an instant cryptocurrency swap service allowing exchange between 900+ cryptocurrencies without registration. Its no-KYC nature and cross-chain capability make it popular for both legitimate privacy and illicit fund movement. Identifying ChangeNOW involvement and tracing through swaps is crucial for comprehensive investigation.
Can you trace funds through ChangeNOW swaps?
Yes, though instant swap services add investigation complexity. We use timing correlation, amount matching (accounting for fees/rates), and pattern analysis to establish probable connections between swap inputs and outputs. While not as direct as on-chain tracing, this analysis often provides actionable intelligence.
How do you identify ChangeNOW transactions?
We maintain databases of known ChangeNOW operational addresses across multiple chains. When funds interact with these addresses, we identify ChangeNOW as a touchpoint and initiate correlation analysis to trace through the swap.
Why do criminals use ChangeNOW?
Instant swap services like ChangeNOW offer cross-chain conversion without KYC requirements. Criminals use them to convert stolen assets to different cryptocurrencies, making trails harder to follow. However, blockchain transactions are still recorded—our analysis reconnects these trails.
What limitations exist with instant swap tracing?
Instant swaps don't create direct blockchain links between inputs and outputs. We rely on correlation techniques with varying confidence levels. We're transparent about certainty—providing "high confidence," "probable," or "possible" assessments rather than claiming certainty where it doesn't exist.
Can ChangeNOW help with investigations?
ChangeNOW has stated they cooperate with legitimate law enforcement requests for serious crimes. Our investigation documentation can support formal requests. However, their limited data retention and no-KYC model means information may be limited compared to traditional exchanges.
How does ChangeNOW fit into typical fund laundering patterns?
Common patterns: steal funds → swap through ChangeNOW to different crypto → swap again through another service → deposit to exchange. We trace each step, identifying ChangeNOW as one link in the chain and continuing to ultimate destinations.
What documentation do you provide for ChangeNOW analysis?
Reports include: identified ChangeNOW transactions, correlation analysis with confidence levels, probable input/output matching, timeline reconstruction, and continued tracing from ChangeNOW outputs to destinations. We clearly indicate analysis certainty levels.
