Abstract

In Indonesia, the use of RegTech in preventing crypto-laundering is still developing. However, its effectiveness has not shown significant results, so exploration is needed into the cause of the ineffective use of RegTech. This study aims to propose a guiding framework for the evaluation of the use of RegTech. Data were obtained from various journal databases and then reviewed through a literature review with researchers as the research instrument. The guiding framework resulting from this literature review is expected to provide guidance for further researchers and stakeholders in evaluating the use of RegTech in preventing crypto-laundering in Indonesia.
