Abstract: Since digital payments increased in 2015, crypto laundering has become a significant threat. This study explores preventing crypto laundering through RegTech and FIU, using qualitative content analysis with NVivo 12. Legal documents from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (CFTR) served as secondary data sources. Crypto laundering mitigation includes KYC (Know Your Customer) and risk-based transaction monitoring. Customized RegTech solutions, like facial recognition technology, should complement blockchain analytics tools. The study found that government agencies issue suspicious transaction reports, while INTRAC, Indonesia’s financial institution unit, handles transaction monitoring and analysis using a “follow the money†methodology. This research contributes to forensic accounting knowledge and suggests policy-level actions for regulators, collaborating with technology specialists to combat crypto laundering.
