In light of the increasing prevalence of emerging crimes such as fraud, illegal transactions, and money laundering involving virtual assets, Central Police University and the Financial Supervisory Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today. This partnership aims to strengthen mechanisms for monitoring and preventing cryptocurrency-related crimes, thereby enhancing Taiwan's ability to combat fraud and bolster financial security governance.
With support from the Ministry of the Interior, Central Police University launched the “Teaching Capacity Enhancement Program for Emerging Crimes” in 2024. As part of this initiative, the university established a laboratory dedicated to the “Cryptocurrency AI Crime Flow Tracking and Monitoring Analysis System.” This lab serves as a hub for research on illegal activities involving virtual assets, provides training in coin flow analysis, and offers operational support to law enforcement agencies, further strengthening the practical application of efforts to combat emerging crimes.
This marks the first collaboration between Central Police University and the Financial Supervisory Commission. The partnership will focus on three key areas: data sharing, talent development, and joint research. It aims to enhance the exchange of intelligence related to virtual asset transaction analysis, while advancing practical training and application in financial supervision and criminal investigation through initiatives such as faculty exchanges and joint courses. In addition, both parties will collaborate to promote technological research and develop policy recommendations to prevent the illicit use of cryptocurrencies.

This collaboration marks a new phase in inter-agency cooperation in Taiwan’s fight against emerging fraud-related crimes. Moving forward, the Ministry of the Interior will continue to strengthen partnerships between the public and private sectors while enhancing technological investigation capabilities. The goal is to establish a comprehensive, multi-layered system to prevent cryptocurrency-related crimes, thereby fully safeguarding citizens’ financial security and upholding financial order.
