System and method for analyzing transactions in a distributed ledger

A method for analyzing transactions in a distributed ledger, the method being implemented on a computer system having one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions which, when executed, perform the method, the method comprising:

• identifying, by the computer system, compound transactions included in the distributed ledger, wherein the compound transactions include multiple addresses from which consideration is co-spent;
• determining, by the computer system, the addresses from which consideration is co-spent in the identified compound transactions;
• associating, by the computer system, the addresses involved in an individual one of the identified compound transactions with a grouping of addresses;
• identifying, by the computer system, the compound transactions wherein consideration is co-spent from an address associated with a first grouping of addresses and an address associated with a second grouping of addresses;
• determining, by the computer system, whether the first grouping of addresses and the second grouping of addresses should be grouped or held separate based on grouping criteria, wherein the grouping criteria define events that justify grouping or holding separate the first grouping of addresses and the second grouping of addresses;
• and
• recording, by the computer system, potential grouping information based on the determination of whether the first grouping of addresses and the second grouping of addresses should be grouped or held separate, the potential grouping information indicating whether the first grouping of addresses and the second grouping of addresses should be associated with a first potential grouping.
