The e-presentation explores the growing use of cryptocurrencies and the critical need to trace cryptoassets in combating crimes like money laundering, fraud and terrorist financing. Blockchain is highlighted as the fundamental infrastructure for tracing transactions across decentralised networks. Different types of cryptowallets are explained, highlighting hosted wallets managed by third parties for convenience but with security trade-offs, and unhosted wallets offering users full control over their assets but requiring careful key management. Finally, it elaborates on the importance for concrete and actionable strategies to ensure financial integrity.
