💸 #Europol : #bitcoin☀️ remains the most commonly abused crypto-asset by criminals.

🥷 According to a report by Europol, Bitcoin remains the most commonly abused crypto-asset among criminals despite the efforts of law enforcement. The rise in its price has led to an increase in investment fraud, as many investors do not fully understand the characteristics of digital assets.

📉 "Companies issuing Bitcoin #ETFs✅ will have to hold significant reserves in the cryptocurrency, making them valuable targets for fraudsters of all kinds," Europol commented.

💰 Europol reports that international criminal groups are actively using digital finance, including Bitcoin, which complicates the work of law enforcement officers. The introduction of #web3_binance and decentralization raises concerns as they facilitate new methods of crime. Elliptic research shows that cryptocurrency fraud in Southeast Asia has become widespread, resulting in losses of tens of billions of dollars for asset holders.
