Are We Approaching an Era Where Cryptocurrency Transactions Can Increasing Be Tracked?

Colleagues, money laundering, illicit drug transactions and nation-states seeking to side-step trade sanctions have all sought refuge via the use of cryptocurrencies. However, the emerging crypto world order may in fact be an era in which such transactions can in fact be tracked. The cyber security struggle between good and evil is playing out before our eyes as central banks (e.g. US Federal Reserve) and regulatory entities (e.g. the US SEC) seek the upper hand against crypto cyber criminals. Firms such as CipherTrace, Chainanalysis and Bitfury are introducing tools designed to gain insight into crypto transactions. Bottom line question: Which side of the crypto privacy vs. transparency ecosystem will succeed? The Cryptocurrency Academy predicts that not unlike other cybercrime and warfare, this will be a long-term dilemma whereby each side develops new technologies and tactics that the other will thwart or mitigate. Share your assessment while visiting us today!
