Crypto's Role in Global Sanctions and Trade
Have you heard terms like Economic Statecraft, Jurisdictional Arbitrage or Axis of Evasion and wondered what they meant or how they applied to cryptocurrency and sanctions?
Well, in this episode,Eitan Danon (Content Marketing Manager Chainalysis) demystifies these terms and their impact on the global economy with guest Kimberly Donovan (Director, Economic Statecraft Initiative, Atlantic Council).
She examines the evolving landscape of blockchain, sanctions, and global finance and explains her journey from the federal government to becoming a leading voice in national security and digital currencies.
She explains how cryptocurrency is being used at a global scale, particularly among countries under sanction and dives deep into the research behind the "axis of evasion," highlighting the increasing use of blockchain to circumvent international sanctions.
Kim also underscores the importance of AML and CFT to deter illicit actors from utilizing jurisdictional arbitrage and connecting their financial networks, which has been leading to weakened USA oversight and economic sanctioning powers.
