According to TechFlow, blockchain intelligence company Elliptic has become a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) to strengthen its fight against child sexual abuse materials funded through cryptocurrency. According to the IWF 2024 annual report, cryptocurrency is a common payment method for child sexual abuse websites. Among the 851 web pages that do not hide payment options, 518 support cryptocurrency transfers. This cooperation will enable Elliptic to obtain IWF's virtual currency real-time alert system to identify relevant payment networks and wallet addresses, helping customers block transactions related to child abuse.
