“This study examined art market participants and sectors of the high-value art market that may present money laundering and terrorist financing risks to the U.S. financial system,” the Treasury wrote, adding: The emerging digital art market, such as the use of non-fungible tokens , may present new risks, depending on the structure and market incentives.

In order to combat the risks, the study recommends several options, including updating training for law and customs enforcement, enhancing private sector information sharing, and applying anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing requirements to certain participants in the art market. According to Dappradar, NFT sales volume totaled $24.9 billion in 2021, compared to $94.9 million in the previous year.

K. Keen, administrator for the Division of Financial Regulation of the U.S. state of Oregon, warned in January.
