When enhances international cooperation with regard to law enforcement investigations of virtual asset (VA) crimes?

Enhanced international cooperation in VA crime investigations is most effective when jurisdictions

designate and empower Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) that can share intelligence, coordinate

cross-border investigations, and liaise with counterparts internationally.

While FATF membership (A) facilitates cooperation, the operational hub for investigations is the FIU.

Establishing new agencies (B) or smart contracts for sharing (C) are not established or effective

methods.

DFSA guidance and FATF recommendations stress the central role of FIUs in enhancing cooperation

and intelligence sharing for AML/CFT, including virtual assets.
