Cryptocurrency, a digital payment system that functions outside of the traditional financial system, is a rapidly developing issue for local law enforcement. Transacting in cryptocurrency creates the perception of elevated levels of confidentiality or pseudonymity. As this and other related innovations continue to gain a foothold in the economy, criminal exploitation of these systems and methods increase.
With cryptocurrency now firmly entrenched in both domestic and international commerce, it is vital that law enforcement has a firm understanding of what cryptocurrency is, how it works, and how it can be used in both legitimate and illicit activities.
