📉 Anonymity in cryptocurrencies: a double-dealer or an obstacle to mass adoption? Mixers and privacy coins, created to ensure the anonymity of transactions, have become a tool for fraudsters and money laundering. 💰 According to a Chainalysis report, in 2023, approximately $24.2 billion in cryptocurrencies were received by illegal addresses. The use of such tools slows down the process of mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. However, despite the negative aspects, anonymity remains an important component of the crypto industry.
