According to Bloomberg, Germany’s financial intelligence unit (FIU) said in Cologne on Tuesday that digital assets accounted for a record proportion of suspicious activity reports (SARs) received from banks and financial services companies last year. Despite a decline in the total number of suspicious activity reports after the industry received guidance to insist on submitting relevant reports, cryptocurrency-related notifications still increased by 8.2% to 8,711. The FIU annual report shows that most of the reports involve BTC, followed by ETH, XRP, USDT, and LTC. The agency noted that these tokens are often linked to trading platforms, coin mixing services, or gambling-related transactions.
