- Once a CBDC is introduced, criminals can convert funds between CBDC and traditional fiat or other digital currencies, adding another layer of currency movement.
- If oversight frameworks are still maturing, they exploit regulatory gaps by splitting the illicit volume into smaller, rapid CBDC transactions that appear as typical digital payments.
- Converting back to fiat or other assets through different platforms makes it even harder to detect the original illicit source.
