Last month in New York City, TRM Labs convened over 100 of the most forward-thinking leaders in crypto and traditional finance for its first-ever Digital Asset Compliance Summit.
Five key themes TRM Labs Inc. heard at Crypto Compliance Connect London 2025.
Hong Kong is stepping up its fight against crypto-related money laundering by working with the University of Hong Kong (HKU) on technology-driven solutions, including improved tracking of virtual asset flows.The new effort was revealed in a government statement on June 12, following a four-day workshop focused on enhancing anti-money laundering (AML) strategies.Collaborative effortUnder the project, engineers and researchers from HKU will collaborate with Hong Kong Customs to design tools capable of mapping and monitoring the movement of digital assets across blockchain networks.The tool aims to help law enforcement identify suspicious patterns tied to money laundering and other illicit financial activities.Assistant Commissioner Wong Ho-yin of Hong Kong Customs stressed that crypto-related crimes are rising. He noted that because these crimes often span multiple jurisdictions, no single agency can address the issue alone.Considering this, Ho-yin highlighted the need to expand partnerships across the financial, academic, and law enforcement sectors to address these cross-border money laundering risks.Professor David Srolovitz, HKU’s Dean of Engineering, echoed this and highlighted the importance of combining technical innovation with regulatory enforcement. He said that by bringing together experts from different fields, Hong Kong can better address the complex challenges of financial crime in the digital era.Global concerns about money laundering riseHong Kong’s push to strengthen crypto oversight comes amid broader global concerns. The borderless nature of digital assets makes them an attractive tool for criminals seeking to move funds discreetly.According to a recent report by TRM Labs, some Chinese underground banks, operating through informal channels known as fei qian, have become key facilitators of crypto-based money laundering.These groups have established close links with global organised crime syndicates, including Mexican drug cartels. Their services allow wealthy Chinese individuals to bypass domestic capital controls and enable foreign criminals to move or repatriate illicit funds.While jurisdictions such as the United States already use advanced tools to monitor crypto-related crime, Hong Kong’s upcoming system could encourage other countries in the region to adopt similar approaches.Mentioned in this article
