FATF Virtual Assets Contact Group Meeting

On April 23-24, 2025, the FATF Virtual Assets Contact Group Meeting was held in Paris, France, to discuss the progress made by the FATF Global Network member countries in implementing Recommendation 15.

During the meeting, participants discussed the risks of using virtual assets for ML/TF/PF purposes. This year, the FATF will publish its 5th progress report on the implementation of Recommendation 15 to provide the most complete picture of progress to date. The EAG Member States, with the support of the Secretariat, annually participate in a survey conducted by the FATF Secretariat and provide information on the progress of its implementation in their countries.

The decision was made to continue joint efforts to combat illegal financial transactions
involving virtual assets and to ensure the timely implementation of the requirements of FATF Recommendation 15.
