Unmasking Anonymity. Enabling Justice.
๐ On March 11, 2025, one of the largest global operations against child exploitation โ Operation Stream โ brought down Kidflix, a criminal platform with nearly 2 million users worldwide. Spearheaded by German and Dutch authorities and coordinated by Europol, this mission marked a turning point in the fight against online child sexual exploitation.
๐ก๏ธ Binanceโs Role in the Mission
At the heart of the takedown was Binance, working closely with law enforcement to provide: โ Operational intelligence
โ Advanced blockchain forensics
โ Support in tracing crypto transactions used to monetize abuse
โก๏ธ Over 120 perpetrators were identified using crypto transaction data shared by Binance investigators.
๐ Operation Stream โ By the Numbers
1,393 suspects identified globally
79 arrests made
91,000 CSAM videos uncovered
39 children rescued
Over 3,000 devices seized
Kidflix wasnโt just a hidden forum โ it was a dark marketplace powered by crypto, gamifying abuse. But the myth of crypto anonymity shattered under the weight of blockchain transparency.
๐ Crypto: From Risk to Responsibility
While bad actors tried to use cryptocurrency as a shield, Binance turned the blockchain into a tool of truth. Public ledgers, KYC compliance, and deep forensic analysis made it possible to trace funds, expose users, and help law enforcement bring justice to victims.
๐ค Collaborating for a Safer Digital Future
Binance is proud to support Europol, the Bavarian Police, and international authorities in this landmark investigation โ the largest CSAM operation in Europol history.
