Regulación de criptoactivos en Colombia en el ámbito de lavado de activos
(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) de Greiff Uribe, Eduardo; Vélez Villegas, Juan Esteban
At present the financial market presents a transformation process where various innovations have been generated. One of these is the introduction of cryptocurrencies or virtual currencies, whose pioneer was the creation of Bitcoin, which progressively unleashed the development of different cryptocurrencies, as a phenomenon that affects a country not only in the economic but also legal sphere, and that may have international significance due to the characteristics of these cryptocurrencies such as decentralization, the speed of their transactions, anonymity, among others. In the legal field, cryptocurrencies have generated debate at the level of criminal science since their particular nature has generated new modalities for the commission of some crimes, specifically having a greater impact on money laundering. In Colombia, the absence of an appropriate regulation for this type of virtual currencies has impacted on the significant increase in the crime of money laundering, which represents the object of this study that seeks not only to develop the current problem in reference to the issue but also formulate some possible solutions.
