Coinbase urges US Treasury to fight crypto crime with blockchain analytics, AI and APIs —and to create safe-harbors so firms can deploy them to modernize AML.
Crypto exchange Coinbase has urged the US government to use blockchain analytics, artificial intelligence and other modern technology to curb financial crime in the space, in response to the Treasury Department’s request for comment on how to deter illicit activity in crypto.
In the letter penned by chief legal officer Paul Grewal, dated Oct. 17 and shared to X on Monday, he argued money laundering schemes have become increasingly sophisticated through the use of advanced technologies, and law enforcement needs to follow suit to counter them.
“Doing so would support a primary objective of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, which sought to modernize the Bank Secrecy Act,” he added.
