Europol has issued a stark warning about the escalating complexity of cryptocurrency-related crime. Criminal networks are increasingly leveraging blockchain technology to launder money across borders, with illicit flows estimated in the tens of billions annually. A Spanish-led operation uncovered €460 million in laundered funds, highlighting the scale of the challenge.

Law enforcement agencies are shifting from localized efforts to coordinated cross-border investigations. Europol's role in facilitating evidence-sharing and forensic support was critical in recent high-profile cases. Yet resource gaps persist—many national units lack the tools and training needed to keep pace with crypto-savvy criminals.
