Financial Crime Nexus

Definition

A financial crime nexus describes a connection point or network where various illicit financial activities converge and interlink. In the context of digital assets, this refers to instances where cryptocurrencies are used to facilitate or obscure crimes such as money laundering, sanctions evasion, or terrorist financing. It represents the intersection of criminal operations with financial systems, including decentralized ones. Identifying and disrupting such networks is a primary objective for global regulatory bodies.
