Abstract

This article examines the criminal law aspects of combating concealed illicit financial interests in the context of cryptocurrency transactions. The study analyzes the legal nature of cryptocurrencies, their role in facilitating hidden financial crimes, and the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in detecting such activities. Particular attention is given to gaps in international and national legal frameworks, as well as mechanisms for preventing money laundering and illegal asset transfers through blockchain-based systems. The paper proposes recommendations aimed at strengthening legal regulation and improving international cooperation in combating financial crimes involving cryptocurrencies.
