A new report by the US Justice department labels cryptocurrencies a threat to national security, due to their use to fund terrorists, rogue nations and criminals in general.
According to the same report police has a difficulty investigating the crypto market due to lack of proper regulation, which is “detrimental to the safety and stability of the international financial system.”
Many businesses that operate with cryptos, like online casinos and peer to peer exchanges have no records of their transactions and also do not file any reports to relevant authorities.
The report also stated that “Current terrorist use of crypto currency may represent the first raindrops of an oncoming storm of expanded use.”
Cryptos, unfortunately, have long been associated with nefarious deals, and unless stringent regulation is introduced I don't see that changing.
