Abstract

Tumbler is a service provided for cryptocurrencies in cases when anonymity is endangered and the owner of virtual “coins” can be traced. Legality of cryptocurrency tumblers can be described as a “grey zone”, for the reason that not even cryptovalues are legalized and “mixing” in tumblers is a special treatment of it. In this paper author by analytical method, by descriptive method and by comparative method explores and displays the all open questions of cryptocurrency tumblers, conducting their legality, legalization and especially potential criminalization in the future. Finally, the author concludes that legality, legalization and criminalization are firmly connected, interdependent and legislators worldwide should de lege ferenda pay extreme caution during tumbler legalization, especially for the purpose of later criminalization.
