The article considers the issues of countering the use of cryptocurrencies for criminal purposes. The authors analyze the difference between cryptocurrencies and traditional electronic money, focusing on the decentralized nature of the blockchain and the lack of centralized transaction management. The paper considers various methods used to increase the anonymity of transactions using cryptocurrencies and complicate their tracking, including changing cryptographic keys, using "mixers" and applying altcoins with improved privacy features. Close attention is paid to the risks associated with the use of cryptocurrencies in cybercrime, emphasizing that the anonymity provided by cryptocurrencies such as Monero and ZCash, as well as crypto-mixing services, makes it easier to commit and conceal crimes.
