Study on crypto-currencies and blockchain: legal context and implications for financial crime, money laundering and tax evasion.
More and more regulators are worrying about criminals who are increasingly using cryptocurrencies for illegitimate activities like money laundering, terrorist financing and tax evasion. The problem is significant: even though the full scale of misuse of virtual currencies is unknown, its market value has been reported to exceed €7 billion worldwide. This paper commissioned by Policy Department A for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies of the European Parliament elaborates on this phenomenon from a legal perspective, focusing on the use of cryptocurrencies for financial crime, money laundering and tax evasion. It contains policy recommendations for future EU standards.
