The study by Valeriia Dyntu and Oleh Dykyi in the Baltic Journal of Economic Studies investigates how cryptocurrency is used in money laundering. Despite its widespread usage for transactions globally, defining cryptocurrency and its legal status remains contentious. This ambiguity complicates criminal investigations, making it challenging for law enforcement to identify perpetrators.

Key Points:
- Cryptocurrency's anonymity and decentralization hinder crime investigations.
- Historical analysis from Hayek's idea of independent currency to decentralized currency.
- Cryptocurrency offers relative anonymity, making it a convenient tool for money laundering.
- Transactions bypass government control, with no need for third-party verification.
- Users can operate multiple accounts and transact from different locations simultaneously.

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for improving regulatory measures and enhancing crime prevention efforts.
