10th Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Cryptoassets

Description

The 10th Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Cryptoassets is a leading annual event focused on the criminal misuse of cryptoassets and related services. It will take place on 15–16 September 2026 in Luxembourg and online.

The conference brings together practitioners from across sectors and regions. Participants come to share experiences, learn from each other and strengthen responses to fast-evolving risks in the crypto and wider digital finance space.

This year’s event is co-organised by the Basel Institute on Governance, Europol and UNODC and hosted by Luxembourg’s Bureau de gestion des avoirs (BGA).

The programme combines presentations, panel discussions and hands-on breakouts. It focuses on real cases, emerging criminal methods, policy and regulation, plus practical tools for investigation and asset recovery.

Day 1 (15 September) is open to participants from all sectors. This includes law enforcement, prosecutors, regulators, financial institutions, crypto-asset service providers, technology firms and civil society. This day facilitates open and practical exchange between public authorities and the private sector.

Day 2 (16 September) is reserved for public authorities only. This includes law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, financial intelligence units, asset management offices and regulators. Sessions focus on operational case studies and lessons learned, in a closed and trusted setting.

Now in its 10th edition, the conference remains an important global meeting point for professionals working to protect individuals, businesses and the integrity of financial systems from crypto-related crime.
