Yeah. With cryptocurrency, everyone has their own wallet address. And these wallet addresses, they don't have your name on it.

And again, your average person is not going to end up in this database and probably still could use this for anonymous crime. But just the other day, a big crypto exchange called Bybit was hacked for $1.5 billion worth of Ether.
