I would expect that proceeds from drugs constitute the vast majority of value that is laundered today, though. It would be interesting to consider the impact, for sure.

Yes, it would absolutely have a massive impact on money laundry as an industry (i.e. on tax havens etc).

$500B a year or so is the estimate.
