For what reason?

Google can't reveal any information rather than from bitcoin explorers so there's little chance of it be recognized not unless you or someone hired chain analysis to do such.

It is very difficult to find an address with thousands of blocks and transactions. that's why bitcoin transactions are called anonim ..
Until recently, I personally had never come up with a way to detect such a problem. maybe I will listen to the seniors to give their knowledge in this thread

It's not difficult to find an address byt it's difficult to know the wallet owner but from what i see about the wallet it's an exchange hot wallet and I don' know know why the OP is Interested in knowing what exhcange the wallet belong to.

Bitcoin was actually pseudonymous not Anonymous.


I think some crypto currency security analysis like chain could do it.

Because I accidentally sent bitcoins from an exchange to an old closed e-wallet account.  I'm trying to see which one so I can have it reopen and retrieve my funds.

I believe it belongs to Huobi.

Take a look at the following transaction: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/86a7f999c3c26f0cc3e9a18e028d286efc160f568797fa3846631a402df60941

In this transaction, the address you have linked spends 126 inputs to move exactly 1,000 BTC to the following address: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1BQeVsS9YfAuwRLjVowzvVKcjZx6onmEbg

That address has a pattern of receiving a single large value input, and then makes a transaction which spends that input to pay out a small amount to a number of address, and deposit the majority as change to another address. For example:

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/13d35e8e4011ad6e9094032d55f4f180c41972e37e9b0bcc0941d82b3436202b
This transaction spends 1000 BTC and sends 984 BTC to 1EDK4M7gcAD5fW5sngxTty54cEvsG7me2k.

This transaction spends 1000 BTC sends 972 BTC to 1FKXTigFBHU3rSdQLecBuw72xBD2QZN95S.

This transaction spends 500 BTC sends 438 BTC to 13aqS5nmnmK25yhhJqY8eU4kds8LnrPG4W.

Those three high value change address are all part of the same wallet which is known to belong to Huobi: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/e80581544df795d8?from_address=1BQeVsS9YfAuwRLjVowzvVKcjZx6onmEbg

And that address was used by you before as your account's wallet address? And yeah, with that tx amounts, it seems like its an exchange or a custodial wallet. But like what I said the google and probably other search engine cant give any information you need so its a bit difficult to know that, we could make assumptions but can't be sure until its verified.

I've never had a Huobi account. But I did have a crypto.com account. They are based in Hong Kong so that address may belongs to them. Let me see if I can get in touch with them.

Wallet address 3QsGsAXQ4rqRNvh5pEW55hf3F9PEyb7rVq belongs to Wallet [a720c17c0f (https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/a720c17c0f8a618b/addresses)] which has just two Wallet Addresses:


neither address have been mentioned in this Forum prior to this thread.


An exchange with just two wallet address?

I don't think so.  That Wallet Address is daily receiving bitcoins valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars right now.  What one is your TX?  The wallet is probably custodial even if you were the one it was attached to.

The transactions going in to the address OP has given are clearly all consolidation transactions from some sort of custodial service; thousands of different addresses all consolidating in to one central address on a daily basis. Rather than give his own deposit address, for the sake of privacy he can give the address of the consolidation transaction destination and receive the same answers from us.

Other than the addresses I discussed above, the only other address the address you gave has sent coins to is https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/14m3sd9HCCFJW4LymahJCKMabAxTK4DAqW.
Again, this address has made a number of transactions with large sums ending up in known Huobi wallets. For example:
https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/938707ef69290b1d61383b168d54ed0adc6badbf5268b147ed1f6584dc567af9

If the address 3QsGsAXQ4rqRNvh5pEW55hf3F9PEyb7rVq is not owned by Huobi, then it is certainly closely linked with them. Do they own or hold large stakes in any subsidiary exchanges, wallets, payment processors, etc?

I found it. The address I sent it to was my old crypto.com wallet. After wrestling back and forth with support. They are funding it back to me...

As of today they still haven't returned my BTC. They said they were going to after asking me for a return wallet address. But after a week they keep stalling saying it's taking time to do the refund. Please be patient. I will give them to next week if not received I'm filing a police report in their location.

They still haven't refunded my bitcoins. I have now filed a police report in their home city

Crypto.com offering a "deposit service" in which customers can deposit coin and earn interest. Huobi has what appears to be a peer-to-peer collateralized lending platform. If the OP is correct about his address belonging to crypto.com, it is possible they are using some of their deposits to fund loans on Huobi's platform.

I've had a good look around crypto.com's website and blog, and I can't find any obvious links to Huobi. Indeed, their "Crypto Earn" platform which you are referring to makes no mention whatsoever as to how the interest they pay you is generated, which I find pretty shady in and of itself. Their "How does it work" page here (https://help.crypto.com/en/articles/2996965-crypto-earn-how-does-it-work) simply talks about how to set up an account and deposit coins, and their Terms and Conditions for the earn account here (https://crypto.com/document/crypto_earn) says nothing about how they use or store any deposited coins.

While I don't trust any of these "earn interest" platforms, at least the other ones I have seen say quite clearly in their Terms and Conditions that they will give your coins out to third parties as loans, investments, etc. Crypto.com not even telling you what they are going to do with your coins is even worse.

I agree that crypto.com has the appearance of being especially shady. They apparently also have an exchange and claim to have fairly decent volume. They are offering very shady bonuses, but if you read the fine print, the bonuses are actually trading fee discounts. I am not sure if the volumes are fake, but I would be hesitant to deposit coin on their exchange.

They are indeed shady. I strongly suggest everyone considering using them to think twice. Just look at the complaints of this company.

It's a complete a privacy process and google already provided the security systems of those services center. May be blockchain.com and crypto.com two favourites website provide bitcoin addresses.

I don't think that there is no way to know who is the company behind the address because knowing so will defeat the purpose of bitcoin being pseudonymous. Also for what reason do you want to know the company or entity behind the address.
