On Monday, news outlet Asia Times published a report quoting Lourdes Miranda, an independent financial analyst and financial crimes investigator, and Ross Delston, an independent attorney and expert witness in money laundering cases. According to the analysts, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been using cryptocurrencies for quite some time already as these provide the state more ways to get around U.S. sanctions.

To cover their tracks, the analysts claimed North Korea has been sending their money to different cryptocurrency exchanges, which make it harder for individuals or states to scan and track their activities. In their research, Miranda and Delston discovered that North Korea initially hired people who have convenient personal identifiable information (PII) to open crypto wallets. According to the report, the process ends with a North Korean nominee buying BTC that are later converted to other popular cryptos like Bitcoin Cash, as well as ETH or LTC, before they’re traded to fiat.

The report comes several weeks after South Korea’s own Korea Development Bank (KDB) suggested that North Korea has been mining cryptocurrencies, albeit on a small scale. Additionally, it appears that a technology company in the country is developing an exchange platform for cryptocurrency, even though the report noted that the average citizens of North Korea have little or no knowledge of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin BCH is the only major public blockchain that maintains the original vision for Bitcoin as fast, frictionless, electronic cash.
