In this webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) cryptocurrencies and Account/Balance-based cryptocurrencies. Attendees will learn which cryptocurrencies use UTXO versus Account/Balance models, and how to apply the appropriate tracing methodology for each.

We’ll explore the two most widely used blockchains—Bitcoin and Ethereum—through real-world case examples, highlighting how each system handles transactions and what that means for investigations.

By the end of this webinar, participants will understand when and why to apply UTXO or accounting principles, and will gain the skills necessary to conduct effective blockchain analysis tailored to the specific cryptocurrency being investigated.
