This is the first industry-led initiative to train law enforcement, regulators and prosecutors around. These people deal with financial crimes that can occur using cryptocurrencies. Price, a former Internal Revenue Service agent, emphasizes that;

“It’s important to have law enforcement can investigate these crimes, and one of the ways you do that is [by] demystifying crypto…Explaining how to investigate it, request information from cryptocurrency exchanges, use that information, interpret it, and work with the industry to tackle the bad actors out there.”

How Big Is Crypto Crime

Chainalysis reports in 2022 show that the crypto industry lost more than $200 million to hacks in August.

Early Tuesday morning, a hacker stole roughly $160 million worth of crypto from a DeFi protocol operated by market maker Wintermute. Most of the stolen funds were stablecoin ERC-20 tokens but other assets were taken as well.

The European Union holds late-night talks on how to introduce new rules. The rules aim to curb shady behavior when using virtual assets. Estimates of the proportion of cryptocurrency payments linked to financial crimes vary from 0.15% to 46%. 

There are illegal activities in the cryptocurrency world. Some are detrimental to honest cryptocurrency users. Others look like ways to get around governments and other unfair rules imposed by capital controls.

Crypto users habitually cite numbers at the bottom of the range. 

Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao tweeted that statistic crypto is safer than fiat money. Knowing the exact extent of illegal activity related to virtual assets is not easy. This relies on identifying suspicious crypto addresses. The second option is tallying their trading volume. Most illicit users usually prefer to stay in the shadows.

hacker detection/prevention measures, mobile numbers used for account take overs, etc.

It is important for all platforms to enhance their security measures in this area. @Binance has already stepped up verifications for users potentially affected.

Stay #SAFU. 🙏

The results depend on how much certainty you want about who the illegal actors on the internet are. Suppose you are branding your wallet address as dubious. You will need hard evidence representing absolute proof or accept something more probable and speculative.

Regulators and Law Enforcement Agencies in Crypto

For regulators, judges, and law enforcement agencies, understanding this issue will determine whether new laws are necessary or legal to force cryptocurrency users to reveal their identities.

There is surprisingly little consensus on the scale of the crypto crime. It will undoubtedly be smaller in dollars than the actual version. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, conventionally funded money laundering is worth up to $2 trillion. This is comparable to the combined value of all the world’s cryptocurrency markets.

Regulators are concerned with the overall volume. This represents a share of the crypto sector. In a recent speech criticizing the industry for resembling the wild west, European Central Bank chief Fabio Panetta said illicit cryptocurrency activity varied from less than 1% to half of all cryptocurrency transactions.
