Cryptocurrency: Its Role in the Financial Service Industry and Black-Market Transactions, ABA's White Collar Crime Institute

Muriel Goldberg-Darmon participated in the American Bar Association's 12th Annual London White Collar Crime Institute on October 14th, joining a panel to discuss the evolving role of cryptocurrency in the financial services industry and its impact on black market transactions.

In particular, the panel discussed how law enforcement is turning the tide on crypto-fraudsters by weaponizing crypto in asset recovery. The panel also discussed what is hot in the crypto space specific to jurisdictions, including: the rise of parallel civil and criminal proceedings involving crypto enforcement in the US, the implementation of the new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and rules on market abuse involving crypto-assets in France, and implementation of recent enforcement tools such as crypto freezing and forfeiture orders in the UK.
