Cryptocurrencies are increasingly involved in trade-based money laundering cases, for example, and linked to a broad range of crimes including drug smuggling, sports match fixing and proliferation financing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Professional money launderers are taking advantage of the ever-growing options provided by crypto assets \u2013 from mining to decentralised services \u2013 to launder proceeds from both physical and cyber crimes.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/virtual-money-how-much-do-cryptocurrencies-alter-the-fundamental-functions-of-money-monetary-dialogue-papers-december-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Virtual-money-212x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/virtual-money-how-much-do-cryptocurrencies-alter-the-fundamental-functions-of-money-monetary-dialogue-papers-december-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual money.

New EU regulations, for example, will ensure that crypto assets are treated like any other assets for the purposes of anti-money laundering regulation and supervision.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple successful cases, some laid bare during the conference, illustrate how investigators are taking advantage of the unique characteristics of blockchain-based technologies to \u201cfollow the money\u201d. This has allowed them to identify not only scammers and hackers but also more traditional organised crime groups and money laundering networks.<\/li>\n<li>Law enforcement and judicial authorities are increasingly treating virtual assets like any other asset from a legal perspective, easing their seizure, management and eventual transformation into fiat currency.<\/li>\n<li>Private companies are innovating fast to provide the tools and analytical capacity to trace funds laundered across multiple blockchains using different obfuscation techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Increasing understanding and capacity in the crypto sphere among all players \u2013 regulators, law enforcement, the private sector \u2013 is vital to tackling organised crime and money laundering, both physical and virtual.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">About the conference<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 6th edition of the annual Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Cryptocurrencies (#6CrC) took place in hybrid format on 1\u20132 September 2022.

Speakers represented regulators (European Parliament), law enforcement (Europol), think tanks (Royal United Services Institute), virtual asset service providers (Binance), and specialised companies involved in crypto investigations, data analysis and asset recovery (Asset Reality, Chainalysis, CipherTrace, Sportradar and TRM Labs).<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/cryptocurrencies-and-blockchain-legal-context-and-implications-for-financial-crime-money-laundering-and-tax-evasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrencies-and-blockchain-207x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/ficha\/cryptocurrencies-and-blockchain-legal-context-and-implications-for-financial-crime-money-laundering-and-tax-evasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cryptocurrencies and blockchain \u2013 Legal context and implications for financial crime, money laundering and tax evasion<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second day of the conference was strictly limited to law enforcement and related public authorities, such as financial intelligence units.
