On September 21, The Block reported that two German government agencies of the Frankfurt Prosecutor's Office closed 47 illegal trading platforms, some of which used cryptocurrencies. Law enforcement agencies said that these platforms were suspected of money laundering by obtaining and concealing the source of illegal funds. These exchanges circumvented the "KYC" protocol to check the identity of users before allowing certain digital asset transactions.
