Abstract

The article analyzes the problem of using cryptocurrencies for the legalization of criminal proceeds. It considers the typology of money laundering schemes (mixing services, decentralized exchanges, drops, and NFTs) and the legal conflicts of applying Russian legislation (Federal Law No. 259, Federal Law No. 115, and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The article substantiates the need to implement the «Travel Rule» and clearly define digital assets as property to improve the effectiveness of financial monitoring.
