https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/what-we-do/crime-thre... for plebs, FCA for banks.

but bitcoin isn't anonymous, each coin and transaction is traceable, so its a terrible tool for money laundering.

where did they mention Bitcoin? much like everything "first generation", Bitcoin is objectively garbage nowadays, when we have continuously evolving Ethereum for modern all-around-good experience and Monero for actually private payments. oh by the way, cryptographically significant quantum processors are eventually coming, and Bitcoin still didn't make up its mind on PQC, to my knowledge, whereas Ethereum did.
