A new report is being launched on how rogue states and criminal networks are using cryptocurrency to launder vast sums of illicit money. Drawing on two decades of cases, the report shows how billions have been moved through digital assets, fuelling corruption, empowering hostile regimes, and harming ordinary people around the world. Stablecoins designed to evade sanctions, exchanges operating from lawless jurisdictions, and state‑backed hacking groups have all contributed to a growing crisis. From Russia and Iran’s ransomware networks to North Korea’s systemic theft of crypto, these schemes have strengthened authoritarian governments and weakened global security.

This event will outline the findings of the report, examine the scale of the threat, and explore what can be done. Speakers will discuss how enforcement has fallen behind, why recovery rates remain low, and how new tools and coordinated action can protect victims, bolster security, and reduce criminal exploitation of the crypto ecosystem.
