What is it about?
The paper investigates and introduces new cryptocurrency tracking methods and evaluation metrics that may be applicable for tracking accuracy evaluation. We then experiment with the tracking of various major historical cryptocurrency crimes as samples and non-related transactions with similar transaction behaviour as controls.

Why is it important?
The introduced novel tracking methods and evaluation metrics show potential for practical application in cryptocurrency tracking, and with further improvement, the methodologies can be beneficial for combating cyber crimes that involve cryptocurrencies.
Perspectives
I hope that the paper can serve as a valuable step for future cryptocurrency tracking and regulation to make it become more acceptable for practical real-world adaptation.
