Europol, the European Union’s agency for law cooperation investigated the use of the Bitcoin Wasabi Wallet for criminal activity concerning dark web transactions in a report, circulated internally in April this year. The agency stated that in the period that it surveyed, 30% of the $50 million worth of Bitcoin deposited into the wallet came from dark web markets. Ultimately the report concluded that it is very hard to detect Wasabi users who ‘avoid major slip-ups’.
