英国国家打击犯罪局 (NCA)成型 一个负责处理与加密货币犯罪有关的问题的团队。这组官员将主要调查行业中的不道德行为。
政府网站上的一则招聘广告称，应该有一个加密货币小组，“将致力于积极主动的加密货币汇款，并使用正确的工具和能力来瞄准英国的主体。”
在英国因加密黑客和诈骗损失了 30 亿美元之后，成立了加密犯罪小组。总计 30 亿美元的黑客攻击对英国金融市场产生重大影响也就不足为奇了。
金融行为监管局（FCA）调查发现，该行业已成为主要部门 这一直在很大程度上助长了金融诈骗。这些骗局大多发生在 2021 年 3 月至 2022 年 4 月之间。在上述时间段内，共审查并报告了 432 起骗局。
英国加密货币欺诈的兴起
加密行业一直是各种金融欺诈的温床。该行业使大量洗钱和非法交易成为可能。最近，英国登记的此类犯罪数量有所增加。
将被选出担任加密货币调查员职位的官员团队将需要就如何应对此类欺诈行为提供战略和战术建议。预计这些官员将在开展与严重和有组织的渎职行为有关的法医区块链调查方面拥有丰富的经验。
据报道，该项目的调查角色只是虚拟资产团队的一部分。此外，国家打击犯罪局的部门目前将从五名官员开始。
英国政府已接近于在 2022 年欢迎该行业，时任财政大臣 Rishi Sunak 也提到了他计划将英国变成“加密货币中心”。尽管如此，英国官员仍然担心太空如何成为犯罪分子的“新前线”。
2022 年晚些时候，国会议员通过了一项法案，赋予金融行为监管局 (FCA) 更多权力，以更好地监管该行业。
加强加密执法
NCA 经理 Chris Lewis-Evans 表示：
加密货币和虚拟资产被广泛视为专业知识领域，[新角色]是支持 NCA 调查的关键，在这些调查中，这些被用来促成严重的犯罪活动。
该行业一直面临长期低迷，导致许多国家/地区重新评估其监管政策。比特币和以太坊等主要市场推动者的价值也暴跌，这使得监管机构优先考虑保护消费者免受极端波动的影响。
另一个在行业内造成严重破坏的重要事件是 11 月加密货币交易所 FTX 的倒闭。鉴于最近发生的这些事件，政府越来越关注为加密行业引入适当的监管框架。
