Therefore, it said, “Companies that choose to offer AEC products should consider the increased risks of money laundering and financing of criminal activity, and should evaluate whether it is possible to adopt appropriate AML/CFT measures to address such risks.” The report further contends that these coins can help get around anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations. “The acceptance of anonymity enhanced cryptocurrencies or ‘AECs’-such as Monero, Dash, and Zcash-by MSBs and darknet marketplaces has increased the use of this type of virtual currency.” Glenn Austin, CFO of Dash Core Group, speculated that the Department of Justice Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework released last month may have played a role in the ShapeShift delisting. Yet the early privacy coin label has stuck even though Bitcoin users can do essentially the same thing, provided they use a service such as Samurai Wallet or Wasabi Wallet. “You can’t use CoinJoin and transact at the same time,” he said. Taylor estimated that only about 0.2% of transactions use CoinJoin on the Dash network. Dash’s main growth market is Latin America, where it’s taken off as a sort of alternative to Bitcoin Cash and is integrated into the payment systems for several retail and restaurant chains, including Burger King. It’s now the 29th-biggest coin by reported market cap, which stands at $678.9 million. ![]() What Dash is attempting to accomplish is becoming a daily transaction currency. “No, but that’s not what this is attempting to accomplish.” “Is it good enough to keep the CIA from analyzing your transactions with tools like Chainalysis or CipherTrace?” he continued. The current privacy option, he said, “is good enough to keep your nosy neighbor out.” “The primary focus has kind of shifted to speed and usability as opposed to optimizing for privacy,” said Taylor. ![]() In Dash’s telling, it hasn’t done much with privacy since. That was dreamed up by Evan Duffield, the creator of Dash, who exited the company at the beginning of 2017, leaving it in the hands of the Dash Core Group. The root of the privacy coin label is half a decade old, when the network launched DarkSend, since relabeled as PrivateSend, Dash’s “brand name for the specific CoinJoin implementation found in Dash’s desktop wallet.” PrivateSend is a process users can implement before a transaction that mixes up wallet holdings so that “an external observer is unable to determine the source of funding.” “We’re very proud of our implementation of CoinJoin, but there’s no legal basis for treating Dash any differently than Bitcoin because it’s an identical transaction protocol.” “We’ve always had a fully transparent blockchain with all inputs, outputs, amounts, addresses fully transparent,” Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor told Decrypt. ![]()
