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.
