Token Laundering

Definition

Token laundering refers to the illicit process of disguising the origins of illegally obtained cryptocurrency or digital tokens to make them appear legitimate. This typically involves a series of complex transactions across various platforms, mixing services, or decentralized exchanges to obscure the audit trail. Token laundering is a significant concern for regulators and law enforcement, as it facilitates financial crime within the digital asset ecosystem. It poses a substantial challenge to maintaining financial integrity.
