Fiji reiterates ban on crypto services, citing money laundering and security risks
-
最新报道：According to a news report from Bijie.com, Fiji's National Anti-Money Laundering Council (NAMLC) announced that Fiji has reiterated its complete ban on virtual asset service providers (VASPs), citing the serious risks posed by cryptocurrencies in money laundering, terrorist financing, and financing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. NAMLC stated that the anonymity and cross-border nature of cryptocurrencies make them extremely vulnerable to exploitation by criminals. The committee noted that extremist groups have increasingly relied on crypto tokens for fundraising, and that Fiji currently lacks effective regulatory and law enforcement capabilities. Prematurely promoting regulation could expose the financial system to risks. This policy is consistent with the standards of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), but Fiji has chosen "ban" rather than "regulation." Selina Kuruleca, Chairperson of NAMLC and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, emphasized that the committee's primary task is to protect Fiji's financial system and national security, and will reassess its position after the regulatory and technical frameworks are improved in the future.
