To clarify the review, the review is divided into two main parts: The first part will focus on the theoretical framework of the money laundering process, the process complexity of cryptocurrencies and the ecosystems surrounding them. The second part will examine whether virtual currencies are suitable for money laundering, the various features that make virtual currencies ideal for such activities, and the creation of new emerging technologies will also be discussed. This document is designed to provide policymakers, regulators, and law enforcement with useful information and strategic solutions to address the challenges of cryptocurrency money laundering through many of these methods.
