Abstract

New technologies, such as the advent of the blockchain and the development of cryptoactives, bring new paradigms and challenges to the fight against money laundering and tax evasion. This writing aims at a brief explanation about cryptoactives, money laundering and current legislation, through bibliographical research. Faced with the challenges, the lack of specific regulations, the constant changes and the absence of technical knowledge by legislators and the population in general, make regulations always one step behind the defrauders. An exclusive and constantly updated Law is essential to facilitate combat and disseminate knowledge. The blockchain, although password sees as the solution to a lot of things, must be observed with an attentive eye to the digital scene and its possibilities, whether these are positive or negative.
