According to the report, a third of the total volume of “dirty” cryptocurrency comes from sanctioned services, such as the Russian exchange Garantex. The rest is associated with darknet markets, fraud, ransomware, malware and network bridges.
Experts say that most of the illegal funds flowing through crypto services are now concentrated not in traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, but in stablecoins. According to experts, international cooperation in the field of anti-money laundering (AML) measures is not producing the desired result.
