in #news7 years ago

has been stated in the report that "criminals - the early adopters of new technologies quickly appreciated that bitcoin has unique properties, which could possibly provide their interest in avoiding law enforcement." It has been stated in the research that "Illegal usage of bitcoin is based primarily on actual evidence, usually in geographical areas or in how it is used in the context, supporting data analysis of it." Although the report Acknowledges that "it is impossible to predict how much bitcoin is used," using the "ionic" forensic block channel network analysis Ahta to estimate how use Bitcoin to a money laundering and estimate the scale


"To give more insight into the development of laws that combat money laundering and financing of terrorism, giving insights to policy makers and financial industry leaders who want to better understand the illegal financial risks arising from bitcoin "/ CFT)" Concerns related to bitcoin - which would largely be called "pseudo-word [ing] instead of bitcotton's user names [ing] , "And cryptocyzation is transferred as an email rather than intermediaries and international boundaries.

             Study Methodology

report "abandoned the comprehensive analysis of a narrow data sample of betoken transactions between 2013 and 2016," however, it states that "the criteria of the study were purposefully narrow to handle data, which may be at least illegal Bitcoin is considered to be analyzed. "Research uses the" elliptic forensic analysis tool ", which is transmitting with Vitkocon, with visibility Associated with known entities to knowledge combines public Blokchen data with Bitkoin addresses owned datasets. "


this study, 214 conversion services have been examined, in addition to the "Betteroine" circulations generated from 102 illegal creatures, including "virtual currency exchanges, gambling sites and mixers." It is believed that illegal units include 30 blackline markets, 6 bloodnet services, 16 blacknet vendors, 5 identifiable Ponzi schemes, 19 ranshware schemes and 26 organizations engaged in fraud related activities.

      Money Laundering Comprises Less Than One Percent of Bitcoin Circulations

The findings show that "the amount of bitcoin landring observed" is small, "such as Silk Road and with depth markets, later, Alba", which includes "sources of almost all illegal betaccones defamed through conversion services", The Study .


has said that "Bitcoin Exchanges obtained the highest illegal illegal bitcoin from all conversion services" - it is likely that the exchange "processes the majority of the total bitcoin transactions." Only two European Union (EU) based exchanges have been held responsible for 50% of the 120 illegal amounts involved in the study.


, the online gambling sites and mixers are identified as "the highest proportion of bitcoin laundering with their platform" processing. Conclusions show that 97% of the incoming gambling and mixer websites can be attributed to only three services - to analyze almost illegal illegal quantities

      The Majority of Illicit Bitcoin Transactions Were Processed in Europe

Research concludes that "five times more than North American services" conversion services located in Europe "received the largest share of illegal बिटकॉइन" in recognizable areas.


The report also shows that "Asian conversion services were processing the highest share of all bitcoin transactions in 2015 and 2016", "During those years, Bitcoin was responsible for an incompatible small portion of the londurring." Despite the conclusions, it is believed that "a large percentage of the conversion services receiving illegal lectures seem to hide the work of their country."

         Darknet Markets Account for Vast Majority of Illicit Funds Transferred Using Bitcoin

Research has shown that between 2013 and 2016, more than 97% of illicit funds have been circulated in the Bitcoin economy. Only one year was investigated, in which blackberry market was estimated for 99% less illegal money, which is 80.42% of illegal funds being due to free markets - which is due to the rise of Ranomawa, Which was estimated to be 15.75% of the biocoines related to illegal activities involved in that year's conversion services.


Research indicates that the flow of bitcoin is very centralized through the Darknet Marketplace, with more than 50% illegal money generated from more than two Anonymous markets during each year. During 2013, it was estimated that about 90% of the illegal money came from Silk Road, whereas in Agora and Silk Road 2.0 in 2014, accounting for more than 40% illegal biocaure flow respectively. In 2015, there is more multicolourism in the stock of illegal money in individual black markets, in which four sites are between 9 to 14 percent of the black market bitcoins, although Agora's stock has reached almost 48% during that year. After the collapse of several dark markets in 2016, more than 75% of the illegal money identified in the study is believed to be derived from alpha or nucleus market.

   Policy Recommendations

The foundation has concluded that in order to effectively combat money laundering through bitcoin mixer and online gambling services, financial experts in all the courts will have to increase the AML enforcement. The report of the websites also states that law enforcement " Not only targets the dark websites, but the "customer's message about the integrity and perceived security of the said platforms" Increase them to expose "his weaknesses" in public to "


"European virtual currency exchange [...] emphasizes the need for regulatory institutions to improve AML practices." The report says that EU-based exchanges strengthened in the absence of clear laws related to cryptrocession-to-cryptokurancy exchanges. Instead of obligation, the AML policy is out of the choice, it has been noted that the European Union has started taking steps designed to deal in this way, as the EU "2015 update the refinance redressal directive Has been certified so that its regulations can cover the virtual currency exchange and guardian wallet service. " However, research concludes that "even in the up-to-date language there are drawbacks that may allow significant cryptomomancy laundering."


Finally, the researchers say that the US Congress should mandate a national commission for digital currency preparation and should develop a strategy of national blocking technology innovation so that "to remove the US, EU and UN sanctions, the cryptokurambles To combat the state's rivals, use "
