Abstract

This study examines the critical challenges and potential solutions for enhancing international legal frameworks in combating transnational crimes related to cryptoassets. In the context of today's rapidly evolving digital economy, the research comprehensively analyzes the transnational nature of cryptoasset-related crimes, identifies existing deficiencies in international legal cooperation mechanisms, and proposes strategic interventions to address these challenges. Based on a methodical analysis of current international legal instruments, statistical data, and comparative legal approaches, this research develops practical recommendations for strengthening international legal mechanisms to combat cryptoasset-related crimes. These evidence-based proposals aim to enhance the efficacy of the global community's collective efforts in addressing criminal activities involving cryptoassets, thereby contributing to a more secure digital financial ecosystem.
