Is it true that Cryptocurrencies can be used for illegal activities?

Yes. Multiple sources, including an encyclopedia entry and peer-reviewed papers, state that cryptocurrencies have been used for illegal activities such as ransomware, money laundering, darknet transactions and fraud. The claim is a modest existence assertion, and these sources directly support it.
