AOFEX Strengthens AML System and Makes Efforts to Prevent Suspicious Capital Inflows

A UK-based cryptocurrency exchange AOFEX boasts a bank-level security risk control system and technology which fully guarantees fairness of transactions and provides users with quality service.

Recently, the prices of mainstream digital currencies have been up and down. Even under the consistent and significant positive sentiment and stimulation, the whole market is still volatile. Because of this, some analysts argue that even though no one can be entirely certain, there is a large amount of illegal funds being circulated in the sector.

These illegal endeavors include some runaway fund-raising projects, digital currency stolen by hackers from exchanges, encrypted assets raised by terrorist organizations for terrorist attacks, bribery, extortion, and tax evasion. All of these have a strong need for money laundering which is more easily done using digital currencies.

It is estimated that the total value of these digital assets may be as high as $10 billion, and the possible crushing capital and liquidation that could result will be strong enough to trigger markets into panic mode.

According to PeckShield, there have been recent reports of suspicious BTC, XRP, and EOS transactions and these have been linked to frequent money laundering operations. Some of these funds are also sold from OTC channels and are then re-entered into exchanges such as Binance.

Exchanges are a vital part of the digital currency industry and they play a very important role in asset flow, value anchoring and are great market trend indicators as well. These roles make them very easily become targets for criminals who need to carry out illegal activity like registering an account with false information and then using such accounts for fraud, money laundering and other kinds of attacks on exchanges. These illicit actions, especially in large scale, could manipulate the market and have a great negative impact on the digital currency sector in general.

Though blockchain is known for its anonymity and decentralization, the users of this technology and of digital coins by extension, have a right to legal protection. Regardless, it could be significantly challenging to ensure that all asset holders enjoy this right. This is why exchanges now want to collaborate with regulatory authorities in several different jurisdictions, to protect users and improve security for some of the asset holders as well as their respective cryptocurrencies.

Since the incident, AOFEX exchange has been on high alert to prevent inflows of funds involved.
