The new Europol report on cybercrime has found that Bitcoin (BTC) remains the most popular form of crypto for illicit uses, but predicts an increase in the popularity of alternative currencies focused on anonymity, such as Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR). The report, the fifth edition of Europol's Organized Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA) to date, was published yesterday, September 18. According to Europol, although Bitcoin's market share fell to "35 percent in early 2017", it remains the most "frequent" crypto in cybercrime investigations across the European Union.
