私たち. Treasury Report Assesses Risks Associated With Decentralized Finance
アメリカ. Treasury released a 報告 4月に 6, 2023, that assesses the purported risks of defi. “The risk assessment explores how illicit actors abuse defi services and vulnerabilities unique to defi services to inform efforts to identify and address potential gaps in the United States’ AML/CFT regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement regimes,” said the national treasury and finance department. The report was written by Treasury officials, including Brian Nelson, the Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
“Defi services at present often do not implement AML/CFT controls or other processes to identify customers, allowing layering of proceeds to take place instantaneously and pseudonymously, using long strings of alphanumeric characters rather than names or other personally identifying information,” the report adds. It also acknowledges that some firms are providing AML/CFT controls and that onchain surveillance companies exist. でも, Nelson and the report’s authors maintain that these controls and monitoring practices “do not adequately address the identified vulnerabilities on their own.”
The defi report also discusses how the Treasury intends to strengthen federal oversight and regulatory policies. The authors emphasize that “centralized virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and industry solutions can partially mitigate some of these vulnerabilities.” The Treasury Department stated that regulations that cover traditional finance should also apply to decentralized finance, and regulators must close specific gaps that cybercriminals, money launderers, and scammers currently exploit. 興味深いことに, despite the report’s 42-page length, the Treasury report authors conclude by stating that illicit finance “remains a minor portion of the overall virtual asset ecosystem.”
On page 36 of the report, which covers the conclusion, recommended actions, and posed questions, the researchers emphasize that most nation-state adversaries and cybercriminals do not typically use crypto assets or defi for illicit financing. “Moreover, 資金洗浄, proliferation financing, and terrorist financing most commonly occur using fiat currency or other traditional assets rather than virtual assets,” the report’s authors conclude.
