Abstract

The cost of convenience. Cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more ubiquitous in the financial markets but have also become a basis for all crimes. It would be quite interesting to note this work follows a research field that focuses on crimes relating to cryptocurrencies and, more particularly, market integrity and investor trust implications. We examine how common types of offenses, such as fraud, money laundering and hacking, are presented in practice and consider practical examples which illustrate how strategies associated with cybercrime are constantly evolving. An evaluation of the degree of response from regulators and the effectiveness of measures already in place is used to provide a spotlight into the challenges experienced by the law enforcement and policymakers. We’ll plead for effective cooperation concerning advancements of the technology, frameworks of legislation, and awareness by the public for enhancing security in the cryptocurrency market. From this in-depth analysis, we hope people will become more sensitive to possible risks in using digital currencies and push harder for stricter safeguards for investors and the entire financial system.
