That's a massively higher share for cryptocurrencies than in legitimate transactions, isn't it?

I was curious about that too. The US Treasury thinks that $300bn is laundered every year. Then ciphertrace thinks $2.5bn is laundered through crypto currencies.

While BTC is tracked between wallets and that's easily measured, it's unclear how to measure wallets being transferred between people.
