Luxembourg’s 2025 National Risk Assessment underscores that crypto exchanges remain a high-risk vector for money laundering, even as trading volumes have contracted over the past two years. The report attributes the elevated risk to the sector’s digital-native operations, cross-border clientele, and structural opacity.

Investment fraud leveraging cryptocurrencies was singled out as a growing concern. Authorities emphasized that the international reach and decentralized nature of exchanges complicate regulatory oversight, sustaining vulnerabilities despite market downturns.
