Crypto
Welcome to the forefront of cryptocurrency innovation in the Caribbean. As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, the Caribbean region finds itself at the intersection of rapid digital transformation and the need for legislative and regulatory clarity. Our cryptocurrency initiative is poised to address these challenges head-on and pave the way for a safer and more transparent digital financial landscape in the Caribbean. In just over a decade, cryptocurrencies have evolved from digital novelties to trillion-dollar technologies with the potential to reshape the global financial ecosystem. However, this rapid growth has also brought forth new risks, particularly in the realm of financial crime.
"The lack of regulation surrounding the use of cryptocurrencies has left Caribbean countries vulnerable to exploitation by organized crime networks" - as highlighted in a recent report from Global Financial Integrity (GFI).
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Caribbean Financial Crime Office has partnered with leading cryptocurrency advisors and investigation company, Chainalysis, to bring the Caribbean up to speed with the latest developments in cryptocurrency regulation and compliance. Here's how we're making a difference:
