Abstract

El mercado de criptoactivos ha experimentado un notable crecimiento en los últimos años, acompañado de grandes fluctuaciones en su valor. Esta expansión, junto con su creciente integración en los sistemas financiero y monetario, ha incrementado los potenciales riesgos para la economía en su conjunto. Sin embargo, el seguimiento de esta actividad no resulta sencillo dada la naturaleza descentralizada de sus operativas y la ausencia de requerimientos de reporte sobre las operaciones. Para comprender mejor los datos disponibles sobre criptoactivos, en este trabajo analizamos las diferentes fuentes de información centradas en Bitcoin, el criptoactivo más conocido. Analizamos dos tipos de datos. Por un lado, los datos directos, es decir, los procedentes de la cadena de bloques Bitcoin, y por otro, los datos de terceros, obtenidos de plataformas de intercambio, agregadores de información y empresas de servicios especializados. Exponemos las ventajas y las limitaciones de ambos tipos datos en lo que respecta a temas de interés para las autoridades financieras. Si bien el análisis de la cadena de bloques tiene la ventaja de ser público y fiable, para abordar temas como el lavado de dinero o la estabilidad financiera es necesario emplear datos adicionales de terceros, con los riesgos asociados que ello implica.
