Luxembourg Flags Crypto Firms as High-Risk for Money Laundering in 2025 Report
Luxembourg’s 2025 National Risk Assessment (NRA) has classified cryptocurrency firms, particularly Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), as high-risk entities for money laundering. The report highlights inherent vulnerabilities, including high transaction volumes, global clientele, complex legal structures, and decentralized operations.
Regulatory gaps and weak compliance frameworks further exacerbate risks, with decentralized environments complicating supervision and illicit FLOW detection. The findings underscore growing scrutiny on crypto’s role in financial crime, potentially prompting stricter oversight.
