crypto laundering
Crypto laundering refers to the process of concealing the origins of illegally obtained funds by converting them into or transferring them through cryptocurrencies. This is often done to obscure the link between the money and criminal activities, using techniques such as mixing services, chain hopping (moving between different cryptocurrencies), or utilizing privacy coins to make transactions harder to trace. It is a digital form of money laundering that exploits the pseudonymous and decentralized nature of blockchain technology.
