LLMs show strong potential for Bitcoin transaction analysis, researchers find

Researchers have explored the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) for analyzing cryptocurrency transactions, focusing on Bitcoin. They developed a framework to evaluate LLM capabilities, including a new graph representation format called LLM4TG and a sampling algorithm named CETraS, which together reduce token requirements for analyzing transaction graphs. Experiments showed LLMs achieve high accuracy in recognizing basic transaction information and identifying characteristics, with notable performance in classification tasks even with limited labeled data, though explanations were not always fully accurate. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates LLMs' capability in specialized domains like financial transaction analysis, potentially improving fraud detection and interpretability.

    Large Language Models for Cryptocurrency Transaction Analysis: A Bitcoin Case Study

    arXiv:2501.18158v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cryptocurrencies are widely used, yet current methods for analyzing transactions often rely on opaque, black-box models. While these models may achieve high performance, their outputs are usually difficult to interpret and…
