In the first half of 2018, many exchange platforms were encoded for large-scale piracy
And can be described as the largest ever.
Money laundering operations through these platforms have also reached their peak.
Which reached three times last year and only in the first half of 2018 according to reports published on the statistical source: CipherTrace.
According to the same source estimated the amount of stolen value of pirated platforms in previous years $ 1.2 billion, while tripling the same is also this year
Money laundering increased to $ 761 million from $ 266 million in 2017.
This is why most government agencies and central banks are trying to put an end to this
Which is a feature of the digital currency encrypted not to disclose the identity of owners and holders.
Dave Jevans, CEO of CipherTrace, said:
It is not an absurd market, whether we like it or not, we must act on it.
