Bitcoin: A Less Risky AML Alternative to Traditional Finance?
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.
