LONDON : Illicit use of cryptocurrencies hit a record $20.1 billion last year as transactions involving companies targeted by U.S. sanctions skyrocketed, data from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis showed on Thursday.
Even as overall crypto transaction volumes fell, the value of crypto transactions related to illicit activity rose for the second year running, Chainalysis said. Funds received by the Russian exchange Garantex, which was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in April, accounted for"much of 2022's illicit volume", Chainalysis said, adding that most of that activity is"likely Russian users using a Russian exchange." A spokesperson for Chainalysis said wallets are tagged as"illicit" if they are part of a sanctioned entity.
"The market downturn may be one reason for this," Chainalysis said."We've found in the past that crypto scams, for instance, take in less revenue during bear markets."
