Only about 0.15% of crypto transactions last year were illicit, compared to 5% with fiat money. Cash is by far the pinnacle of "crime money", definitely not cryptos.
The study says 0.15% of transactions involved addresses that have been identified as illicit. That’s quite different to saying 0.15% of transactions are illicit and very different to saying 0.15% of the value of crypto transactions was illicit.

Sorry, what?
That’s a laughable estimate. And even if that were the case, speculation comprises the other 94.85%— also illegitimate—. A result of regulatory capture and complicit politicians.
