Estonia’s crypto regulator says money-laundering and terrorist funding risks are high after customers numbers and transaction volume ballooned in recent years, according to a new report released by the agency.

Crypto companies licensed in Estonia have 4.5 million customers overall, amassing around 20 billion euros in transaction flows between August 2020 and August 2021.
