Produktbeschreibung
The book engages with the operational dynamics and terminological ambiguities that underpin current understandings and regulatory responses to crypto-asset-related risks. It unpacks the concepts of transaction obfuscation and traceability, and investigates the accountability implications of diverse tools and techniques – ranging from self-hosted wallets and decentralised exchanges to privacy-enhanced protocols and machine-learning-driven analytics. Through this lens, it explores the relevance of techno-legal trade-offs in system design, as exemplified in proposed central bank digital currency (CBDC) models.
A contextualised assessment of international standards and the European Union’s evolving legal framework – including AML and AMLA Regulations, Crypto Travel Rule, and Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation – serves as a foundation for a set of recommendations on how to holistically consider crypto-asset features in line with the AML/CFT risk-based approach. The methodology reflects the mutual interaction between regulation and technology within a co-regulatory setting, seen as a prerequisite to uphold compliance by (and through) design. Ultimately, the book advocates for a transposition model between AML/CFT risk indicators and techno-regulatory standards, informed by a risk-based taxonomy of crypto-asset ecosystems.
Against the backdrop of rapidly evolving technologies, stakeholders, and risks, this monograph offers conceptual tools, terminological clarifications, and common discussion points across disciplines – including law, the social sciences, computer science and engineering, management and information systems. It provides a comprehensive foundation for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in shaping the future of crypto-asset regulation and compliance.
