Recent research shows that Bitcoin transactions pose no or very little risk of being used in illegal transactions.
Last month, the Financial Information Division of the South Korean Financial Services Commission released a report saying that traditional banks are more exposed to money laundering and terrorist financing risks than cryptocurrencies.
Now another report from the pan-European Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has confirmed that cryptocurrencies do not pose a risk of being used to finance terrorism or money laundering.
The report says that while crypto may theoretically pose a threat, there is little evidence that it is contributing to increased crime at present.
UK politicians have announced plans to improve the laws governing cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. They intend to use the European Union's fifth anti-money laundering directive to monitor transactions between cryptocurrency exchanges and financial institutions.
At the G20 summitin Argentina last week, world leaders called for a coordinated approach to regulating digital assets. Next June, the FATF plans to publish more detailed guidance outlining how countries should manage all aspects of the digital asset ecosystem.
