In this episode, we present the audio version of an article by Freddie New, Chief Policy Officer at Bitcoin Policy UK. The article explores a powerful and timely question: Is Bitcoin actually less risky than the traditional financial system when it comes to money laundering and criminal abuse?
🔍 In this episode:
- Why transparency is Bitcoin’s greatest AML asset
- How law enforcement (including the FBI) has traced major crypto crimes using the blockchain
- What makes the Bitcoin ledger uniquely public, immutable, and court-admissible
- Why criminals are increasingly avoiding Bitcoin in favour of traditional finance
- What this means for risk, compliance, and fintech strategy
đź“Š With support from real-world data and Chainalysis findings, the episode explains why the total volume of illicit transactions using crypto in 2024 was just 0.14% - far below public perception.
🎧 Whether you’re a policymaker, compliance professional, or simply curious about the future of financial regulation, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what Bitcoin really is - and what it definitely isn’t.
