- Criminals stake illicitly obtained tokens in yield farming or liquidity pool contracts, earning rewards that appear as legitimate proceeds.
- The repeated staking process introduces layered transactions that fragment the original chain of custody.
- Protocols often obscure the source of staked tokens, making it difficult for investigators to correlate illicit input with staking rewards.
