The report warns that technological evolution and its potential expansion will create opportunities to commit crimes, jeopardizing public safety and that of the United States.
As for the threats related to these types of assets, they are divided into three types: financial transactions related to the execution of crimes, money laundering and thefts that also include the cryptocurrency markets.
