Public Key Episode 1 preview: Russia, cryptocurrency, and sanctions evasion
Russian oligarchs are the current topic of conversation when it comes to using cryptocurrency to evade significant sanctions imposed and adopted by global leaders. Could cryptocurrency be the way that illicit actors move their fortunes out of Russia without access to the SWIFT network?
Host Ian Andrews sits down for the inaugural Chainalysis podcast episode with colleagues Kim Grauer, (Director of Research, Chainalysis) and Salman Banaei (Head of Public Policy for North America, Chainalysis) to discuss the potential for Russia to evade sanctions with cryptocurrency, the ongoing ransomware efforts of Russian cybercriminal organizations, and more.
This panel uses a wealth of Chainalysis data highlighted in the 2022 Crypto Crime Report to shed some light on Moscow City as a hub for illicit activity and provides a detailed breakdown of the infrastructure connecting Russia to notorious ransomware organizations. They also highlight how law enforcement has been able to leverage the transparency of blockchains to respond to ransomware attacks, Russia’s move away from the U.S. dollar following recent sanctions, and the role of the digital yuan in the China-Russia relationship. The episode ends with discussion of Chainalysis’ recent launch of an on-chain oracle and API to help DeFi protocols and other cryptocurrency businesses comply with sanctions policies.
이번 에피소드의 명대사
In contrast, you could imagine, sanctioning a Russian bank, you wouldn’t have nearly as much of an impact, as inbound transfers would still probably happen… As a policy tool sanctions are particularly effective in the cryptocurrency markets and the reason for this is the transparency of the blockchain.
– Salman Banaei, Head of Public Policy for North America, Chainalysis
