Cointelegraph: Blockchain and Crypto Can Be a Boon for Tracking Financial Crimes
On April 28, Cointelegraph published an article debunking the historical, biased connection between cryptocurrency and crime. Our Chief Technology Officer, Dmytro Volkov shared his thoughts on this topic:
“The misconception that crypto is predominantly used by criminals probably has roots in the days of the Silk Road. The truth is that the immutable aspect of the blockchain makes hiding transactions very difficult. In the case of Bitcoin, whose blockchain ledger is publicly available, a serious exchange with a competent analytics team can easily monitor and thwart hackers and launderers before the damage is done.”
