In a two-part article on Measuring the Regulatory Gaps for Digital Assets and the Use of Technology to Bridge the Gap, the authors Dan M. Berkovitz and Mriganka Pattnaik elaborate on the lack of effective anti-money laundering measures within the U.S. cryptocurrency regulation framework.

In Part 1, Dan M. Berkovitz discusses the existing regulatory gaps within the digital assets realm, emphasizing the risks faced by individual stakeholders and the broader financial system. He advocates for long-term policy measures and the immediate adoption of regulatory technology (Regtech) solutions to address this regulatory void.

In Part 2, Mriganka Pattnaik explores the role of blockchain analytics and technological tools in bridging these regulatory gaps. These tools enable collaboration among market participants, investors, and government agencies, with a focus on implementing measures to prevent, detect, and enforce against illicit activities occurring on the blockchain. This multi-pronged approach highlights the importance of technology and cooperation in ensuring the integrity of digital asset markets.
