We must remember that when we talk about "Bleaching" or money laundering, we are referring to money from illegal sources.

When we exchange crypto, we do so freely and it does not represent any illicit. As long as the provenance is legitimate.

Since cryptography offers many advantages in terms of anonymity which is exploited by criminals, international organizations have been created such as the cybersecurity startup Chainalysis, dedicated to the use of blockchains such as Bitcoin to prevent human trafficking or child abuse, to just like the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).

But detected or "tracked" cases represent a minimal percentage of total illegal operations.

In the case of Venezuela, for me it is quite worrying that the government is trying to implement a government cryptocurrency, since the allegations of corruption and drug trafficking that weigh on the main characters of the national administration suggest that they could incur money laundering.
