Chainalysis and industry reports show 2024 saw a 35% decline in ransomware payments to $813.55M even while the number of successful ransomware breaches reached a record 5,263; factors include increased victim resistance, law enforcement actions (e.g., Operation Cronos), fragmentation of major groups, and evolving laundering tactics such as cross-chain bridges, though high-profile large payments (notably a $75M payment to Dark Angels) still occurred.
