The UK government has unveiled its "Fraud Strategy 2026–2029," highlighting cryptocurrencies as a growing risk. The report acknowledges that while digital assets have become integral to everyday financial activities, they are also increasingly used in investment scams and other criminal activities. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis estimates that by 2025, approximately $17 billion in crypto assets will be linked to scam-related addresses. However, the firm also notes that blockchain's transparency offers law enforcement valuable tools for tracking illicit fund flows.
