Abstract: Esta tese oferece uma análise dos fundamentos da Decentralized Finance, particularmente das tokens não fungíveis e dos desafios que estas inovações representam para o arcabouço legal da União Europeia contra o branqueamento de capitais e financiamento do terrorismo. Por um lado, a tese irá analisar as mudanças que estas inovações podem trazer ao mercado da arte e à indústria criativa. Por outro lado, centrarse-á nos riscos de crime financeiro que advêm da maior facilidade em ocultar os produtos do crime na blockchain.
This thesis offers an analysis of Decentralized Finance underpinnings, particularly Non-Fungible Tokens and the challenges these innovations may pose over the European Union AML/CTF legal framework. On the one hand, the thesis will analyze the changes these innovations may bring to the art market and creative industry. On the other hand, it will focus on the financial crime risks arising from the increased ease to layer the crime proceeds on the blockchain.
