Only 1 jurisdiction is fully compliant: Bahamas

29% are basically compliant, a slight increase from 25% in 2024, including: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore

Singapore's high-profile announcement of the enforcement of DTSP compliance requirements for the cryptocurrency industry starting June 30 is for the FATF's major examination.

The bad news is: it was unexpected to have such strict policies driving people away, and Singapore still did not score high.

The good news is: except for Panama, no one scored high.

FATF Alarm: Cryptocurrency is Fueling North Korea and Iran's Weapons Programs According to the latest report from the International Anti-Money Laundering Force (#FATF ) published in June 2025, countries under sanctions like North Korea and Iran are exploiting cryptocurrency to evade sanctions and fund illegal weapons programs. The report specifies that North Korea alone has stolen $1.4 billion from the ByBit exchange in February, subsequently laundering the money through mixing services, non-custodial wallets, and poorly regulated exchanges. The Lazarus hacking group, notorious for cyberattacks backed by Pyongyang, continues to play a crucial role. According to Jeremiah O'Connor (Webacy), cryptocurrency has become an ideal tool because it crosses borders, operates 24/7, requires no intermediaries, and easily exploits legal loopholes. Chainalysis's research also found that this criminal network is linking multiple geopolitical hotspots: from North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine war, Russia-Iran cooperation in building drone factories, to Chinese fentanyl trafficking groups connecting with Mexican cartels. ⚠️ Warning: Cryptocurrency could become a global security loophole if lacking strict oversight. Investors and exchanges need to strengthen risk management to avoid inadvertently facilitating illegal capital flows! #northkorea {future}(BTCUSDT) {spot}(BNBUSDT)

Key moves:
– 🇵🇰 BTC Reserve (national digital sovereignty plan)
– ⚡ 2 GW for Web3 infrastructure (AI, mining, data centers)

🧾 June 2025 Update: New Travel Rule guidelines now require:

– Sender & receiver info (name, address, ID) for crypto transfers > $1K
– Self-custody wallets must comply if interacting with CEXs
– Penalties include gray-listing jurisdictions

🧩 Impact:
– Privacy protocols may clash with compliance
– Countries vary: 🇸🇬/🇦🇪 more flexible than 🇺🇸/🇪🇺

🚨 $51B in Stolen Crypto? FATF Just Slammed the Emergency Button on the Entire Industry 😱🔒

Crypto just got a global “watch your back” warning — and it’s not from some influencer…
It’s from FATF — the watchdog group that governments actually fear.
Only 40 out of 138 countries are following the rules.
The result? A jaw-dropping $51 BILLION in dirty crypto flows in 2024.

Let that sink in.
That’s not a typo. That’s your money swimming in untracked waters. 🌊💸

💣 What’s FATF & Why They Just Exploded on Crypto
FATF = the global regulator of financial crime.
Think of them as the “Interpol of Money Laundering.”

And they’re calling out the crypto world HARD:
$1.5B stolen from Bybit (allegedly North Korea 👀)
Massive DEX loopholes
Country after country ignoring anti-crime rules
Now they’re saying: enough is enough. And when FATF speaks, banks and governments listen fast.

😨 Why This Hits YOU — Not Just Big Players
Think you’re safe because you only hold $200 in PEPE?
Think again.
Here’s what happens if your exchange or wallet isn’t FATF-compliant:

🔒 Account locked
🔒 Withdrawals frozen
🔒 Wallet flagged
🔒 Airdrops denied
🔒 Access blocked in your country

And the worst part?
You won’t even get a warning — you’ll just log in and see zero access. 💀

🧠 Degen Survival Kit: What You Should Do NOW

✅ Stick with FATF-compliant exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
✅ Don’t use random DEXs with no KYC, especially on VPNs
✅ Don’t ignore wallet blacklists — they’re already in motion
✅ Don’t fall for “regulation is a lie” Twitter bros — they’ll get rugged first

🔍 Real Talk: This Isn’t Just a Rulebook — It’s a Warning Shot

The Bybit hack wasn’t small.
It was the biggest crypto heist in history.
And FATF just told the world: if you don’t fix it, we’ll blacklist you.

This is your early signal — not to panic, but to prepare.

🎯 Final Word
Crypto isn’t dying.
But the wild west days are.
The next bull run will be KYC-first, compliance-first, and FATF-approved.

So ask yourself:
> 💬 “Is your exchange ready… or are your bags about to be frozen solid?”
👇 Tag a friend still using shady DEXs in 2025 — and save their wallet.

🚨 Big Crypto Wake-Up Call from FATF 🚨 The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) just dropped some serious heat on the crypto space. According to their latest report, only 40 out of 138 countries are actually doing a decent job regulating crypto properly. 😬 And get this — over $51 billion in crypto was linked to illicit activity in 2024 alone. That’s billion with a B. Most of it flowed through stablecoins, which are supposed to be the “safe” option. Instead, they’re apparently the go-to for shady stuff like terrorism financing, drug trafficking, and even North Korea doing its hacker thing. Oh, and remember that massive $1.5B ByBit hack earlier this year? Yeah… FATF strongly hints North Korea was behind that one too. 😳 Moral of the story: regulators aren’t playing anymore. Expect stricter crypto rules, especially around stablecoins and cross-border transfers. Might be good for the long run, but the heat is definitely on.

The SEC is moving to regulate the cryptocurrency market in a way that we do not know! Anyone following the crypto market is sure to see the significant shift in the direction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) towards regulating the digital currency market, as the acting chairman, Mark Uyeda, has ceased to pursue any enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies unless they are involved in clear fraud. According to attorney Josh Hesse, the agency is expected to focus under the new U.S. administration on protecting retail investors and reducing fraud, rather than pursuing brokers or punishing companies for technical regulatory shortcomings. The report mentioned that several prominent cases, such as those against Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple, are under review and may be dropped or settled. It is also expected that the controversial “Howey Test” will be replaced with a clearer classification system for cryptocurrencies, which could enhance innovation and provide a more transparent and stable regulatory environment. On a global level, there are also significant updates in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing guidelines from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), along with proposed changes in capital requirements from the Dubai Financial Services Authority, which may have varying impacts on brokers and investment firms. #crypto #fatf #sec
