To trace anomalous Coinbase cold wallet transfers via Glassnode’s clustering algorithms:
Identify transaction patterns (size, timing, UTXO links) to isolate suspicious flows.
Use entity clustering to group addresses controlled by Coinbase via heuristics like common-input-ownership, change address reuse, or off-chain metadata.
Map funds flow paths across clustered addresses using Glassnode’s on-chain analytics, tracking splits, consolidations, or interactions with known entities (exchanges, mixers).
Apply temporal analysis to correlate transfers with external events (hacks, internal actions).
Cross-validate with Glassnode’s proprietary data (wallet labels, exchange metrics) to confirm attribution.
Clustering combines behavioral and cryptographic patterns to expose hidden ownership, aiding in distinguishing internal operations from external breaches.
