LONDON : Anonymity is allowing crypto assets to finance illegal activities, a top U.S. regulatory official said on Tuesday, posing national security risks that must be addressed.

"Fraud is a hallmark of digital asset markets, the human toll of which may be overlooked," Romero told a City Week conference in London, adding that it was imperative that the lack of visibility in cryptomarkets was addressed. Legally compliant crypto companies should not be using"mixers" or software tools that effectively anonymise users by pooling and scrambling cryptocurrencies from thousands of addresses.

Compliant crypto companies must show they have internal controls to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
