The report is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an overview of the threat. According to the report, illicit use of cryptocurrencies typically falls into one of three categories: financial transactions for criminal purposes; money laundering and avoiding tax filings or other legal obligations; and hacking or theft of cryptocurrency trading venues. Parts Two and Three explore law enforcement tools and ongoing challenges related to these types of crimes.

The report also mentions the growing DeFi space, linking 2017's ICOs to today's activity. Regulators have previously said that DeFi regulation has been slow, but reports suggest that law enforcement officials are keeping a close eye on the space.

“The ICO boom of a few years ago has been replaced by the exponential growth of the DeFi market in recent months, with law enforcement trying to stay on top and keep investors safe, with all the associated complexities and difficulties,” the report said.

Much of the report focuses on the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology when these threats are addressed. The report recognizes digital assets as an important opportunity for U.S. development, calling them a "transformative way to store and exchange value," and urges industry members to work with regulators to develop solutions that foster innovation and protection.

"To promote public safety and protect national security, steps are needed to ensure that cryptocurrencies are not used as illegal platforms, from private industry to regulators, serving officials, individual cryptocurrency users, and all stakeholders," the report said. For cryptocurrencies to realize their truly transformative potential, these risks must be addressed."
