Can blockchain help fight financial crime?
RootstockLabs Intelligence Manager Gabriela spent the day recently at @LSEGplc Risk Revealed, talking AI, compliance and financial crime with people from @bancosantander, @ProsegurGlobal and others.
What stuck with her: AI is only as good as the data you feed it.
That’s where blockchain gets interesting. Every transaction is traceable, so it’s easier to follow the money and spot risk early.
But tech doesn’t take the blame when things go wrong. As one speaker put it: “AI is not responsible. Humans are.”

43% of gold’s yearly demand has nothing to do with money. It comes from jewellery, electronics and industry.
Bitcoin has proven it’s money. It hasn’t found its second job yet.

Before you start signing, here’s the one thing @SDLerner and Shreemoy want you to know,
Rootstock Infrastructure (RIF) retweeted
Fiat supply is decided in meetings. Bitcoin’s was decided in 2009.
Every 210,000 blocks, the reward miners earn for a new block is cut in half. The next cut is in 2028, and everyone already knows the number: 1.5625 bitcoin:native.
Over 20 million of the 21 million bitcoin are already mined.
The last fraction won’t be mined until around 2140.

If Bitcoin is the best collateral in the world, why do most treasuries just let it sit there?
Rootstock Infrastructure (RIF) retweeted
In 1933, gold was the world’s most trusted collateral.
On April 5 that year, Executive Order 6102 required Americans to hand in most of their gold coins, bullion and certificates at $20.67 an ounce. In January 1934, the Gold Reserve Act revalued gold to $35, about 69% higher. Private gold ownership in the US wasn’t fully legal again until 1974.
That’s why Bitcoin is increasingly described as pristine collateral:
• Fixed supply of 21 million: no one can issue more
• Verifiable by anyone, at any time, onchain
• Settles 24/7, across borders
• A bearer asset that can be held without an intermediary, rather than a claim on someone else
But pristine collateral isn’t risk-free. Price volatility, who holds the keys, and the terms of any loan against it all shape the real risk.
Understanding where that risk sits is what separates using Bitcoin as collateral well from using it badly.
