CipherTrace just published their Q2 Cryptocurrency AML Report and found it interesting that Bitcoin still reigns king in dark markets and cybercrime. Most people associate privacy coins even just 4% involve Monero.
Even in the case of malware and ransomware, ETH used in only 1% of instances and BTC used in 98% of cases.

I see this as a vague report and i am not sure how they got these estimates which is being written in that article, there is no specification about how many sites they conducted their survey in the dark markets to come to a conclusion that bitcoin is still reigning in dealing illegal substances including drugs. If there is a detailed report on the amount of case reported or the study they made then we can make a conclusion other than that it is just a fake report Tongue

.

That's an interesting thought. I don't see how a reputable company would put out a 'fake report'. I feel like Ciphertrace isn't legally allowed to disclose the names of the markets and the sources because ultimately they are trying to find a balance between privacy and protecting people.
