China's Supreme Procuratorate Addresses Three Key Challenges in Cryptocurrency Laundering Regulation

According to the Procuratorate Daily, the Xiangtan City Yuhu District People's Procuratorate and researchers from Xiangtan University's law school recently released a joint paper addressing systemic solutions to three critical challenges in regulating cryptocurrency laundering under criminal law. The paper identifies three obstacles: first, Article 191 of the Criminal Law limits money laundering charges to seven categories of predicate crimes, forcing many cases to be prosecuted under concealment statutes instead; second, mixing protocols, privacy coins, and cross-chain transfers fragment evidence chains, making traditional investigative methods ineffective; third, conflicting legal status of virtual assets, procedural gaps, and cross-border cooperation barriers complicate asset recovery. The paper recommends establishing blockchain data self-authentication principles, implementing tiered evidentiary standards, creating a national virtual asset custody and disposal platform, and pursuing an international criminal justice cooperation agreement specifically addressing virtual currency crimes.
