Could you elaborate on the possibility of cryptocurrency being "laundered"? I understand that laundering typically refers to the illegal practice of disguising the source of funds obtained through criminal means, but how does this concept translate into the realm of cryptocurrency? Are there specific techniques or methods that criminals employ to obscure the origin of their digital assets? And what measures are being taken by regulators and law enforcement agencies to combat this potential form of money laundering? Your insights into this topic would be greatly appreciated.
