FinCEN said that mixing services, which seek to allow users to conduct transactions with anonymity, are used by a “variety of illicit actors throughout the world,” referring by name to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The agency said this proposed rule is a “key part” of the ongoing effort to boost transparency in the crypto markets.
