Coinbase Urges U.S. to Use Blockchain Analytics & AI to Fight Money Laundering

Coinbase is urging the U.S. government to adopt advanced technologies like blockchain analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to combat increasingly sophisticated money laundering schemes. As digital assets and crypto transactions grow, bad actors are finding more complex ways to move illicit funds, often exploiting gaps in regulatory oversight. Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S., argues that integrating blockchain analytics tools and AI-driven monitoring can help authorities detect suspicious activity faster and more accurately. These technologies can track transaction patterns, flag unusual behavior, and provide actionable insights for law enforcement. By leveraging these innovations, Coinbase believes the government can better safeguard the financial system while supporting the responsible growth of the crypto industry.
