Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the transformation of the police force in Indonesia can be carried out to address token-based money laundering, as well as provide policy recommendations that can improve the effectiveness of law enforcement in the context of the development of crypto technology. Adopt a post-positivism paradigm and a qualitative approach to explore the transformation of the police in handling token-based money laundering in Indonesia. The data collected will be analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques, including coding and thematic analysis, to find relevant key patterns and themes. The results of the study show that the main challenges in enforcing the law against crypto-based money laundering in Indonesia include a lack of insight into blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, inadequate policies, and difficulties in tracking transactions due to the decentralized nature and anonymity of digital assets. To address this problem, it is necessary to increase the technological capacity of law enforcement officers, develop specially trained units, and implement stricter regulations. In addition, community empowerment through education and training for police officers is essential to improve competence in detecting suspicious transactions. With these strategic steps, it is hoped that cybersecurity can be more guaranteed and the digital asset ecosystem in Indonesia will become more transparent and responsible.
