The development of financial technology has led to the emergence of cryptocurrency as a decentralized digital instrument that enables fast and cross-border financial transactions. While this technology offers efficiency and flexibility in digital financial activities, it also creates opportunities for misuse in various forms of crime, including terrorist financing. This study aims to analyze the use of cryptocurrency as a means of financing terrorist activities in Indonesia, examine the existing legal framework governing terrorist financing, and identify the challenges faced in law enforcement. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The findings indicate that the use of cryptocurrency as a medium for terrorist financing still fulfills the elements of a criminal offense as regulated under Law Number 9 of 2013 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Terrorism Financing. However, the characteristics of cryptocurrency, such as anonymity, decentralization, and cross-border transactions, create significant challenges in the processes of evidence gathering, transaction tracing, and identification of perpetrators. In addition, there is a regulatory gap between the recognition of crypto assets as economic commodities and the supervision of their potential misuse for terrorist financing. Therefore, stronger regulations are needed to explicitly integrate crypto assets into the terrorist financing prevention regime, along with improving the capacity of law enforcement agencies in blockchain transaction analysis and strengthening international cooperation to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement in the digital economy era.

The rapid development of information technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including business and law. One of the key innovations in this context is Blockchain technology. Blockchain has revolutionized information storage and exchange, particularly in the realm of Indonesian contract transactions. It is a decentralized technology that allows for transactions between two parties who do not trust each other, without the need for a third party. The data in Blockchain is stored across the entire network, ensuring that it cannot be altered by a single party without the agreement of the entire network. Furthermore, Blockchain enhances transparency and accountability in data management. This study employs a normative legal research method with a descriptive approach. The findings reveal that Blockchain technology has significant implications for the protection of personal data and the validity of evidence in civil cases. As the technology continues to evolve, its potential to transform legal transactions in Indonesia is undeniable.

In the digital era, anti-corruption law enforcement faces new challenges and opportunities. With the development of information technology, corrupt practices are increasingly complex and hidden, committing fraud and embezzlement by utilizing digital space. The use of advanced technologies such as big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are some examples of how law enforcement can tackle corruption. In addition, this study investigates various ways in which the government, law enforcement agencies, and civil society can work together to improve transparency and accountability. It is expected to improve anti-corruption efforts by utilizing digital platforms to report and detect suspicious activities. The study found that adapting law enforcement to technological changes is important to uncover and stop corrupt practices in the digital era. In addition, public education is essential to building a stronger anti-corruption culture. To create a transparent government, the role of the media and public participation is very important to increase the accountability of officials for corrupt practices. This study aims to see how public participation and the media monitor corruption and to find methods that can improve such supervision. The methods used include literature research, reports, and policy articles. The results of the study indicate that taking an active part in reporting and monitoring can increase the accountability of public officials.
