Objective: to study the international legal component of the fight against money laundering, to analyze national legislation in the fight against money laundering in the Russian Federation and the United States, to identify and analyze the threats caused by the use of cryptocurrencies for money laundering. Tasks: analysis of international legal regulation of the fight against money laundering; analysis of domestic regulation of the fight against money laundering on the example of the Russian Federation and the USA; Identification and analysis of urgent problems associated with the use of cryptocurrencies for the purpose of money laundering. Conclusions: Money laundering has a cross-border nature; the threat of money laundering lies in the "flow" of the money supply from the gray economy into real sectors of the economy; the system of combating money laundering includes a number of acts of a non-binding nature; The FATF is the main international association that implements and implements anti-money laundering policies; FATF recommendations are in the nature of “soft law”, however, an effective mechanism for implementing recommendations and monitoring their implementation ensures the implementation of recommendations at the proper level; the widespread occurrence of digital assets carries a number of risks for the global financial system. Attempts by the FATF to resolve this area with the help of techniques applicable to the traditional financial system may not bring the expected result. In our opinion, cryptocurrencies will largely move to the grey zone. There is also a risk of monopolization of digital finance by large technology corporations.
