GCFFC (Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime)
Web3 / compliance
The Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime is an international public-private partnership uniting financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, regulators, technology firms, and civil society organisations in the coordinated fight against financial crime globally. The GCFFC convenes annual summits bringing together Interpol, Europol, the World Economic Forum, national AML authorities, major banks, and virtual asset service providers to address money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and — increasingly — financial crime involving virtual assets and blockchain networks. The 2025 Annual Summit, held September 10–11 in Abu Dhabi at the Abu Dhabi Global Market, was the first GCFFC summit where virtual assets dominated the agenda, accounting for over half of all sessions and attracting 320+ registered delegates. Cointegrity served as a key organising partner and Silver Sponsor, with Co-founders Ruben Junger, Torstein Thinn, and Michal Gromek — Chair of the GCFFC's Digital Asset Task Force — leading five major sessions. Example: At the 2025 Abu Dhabi Summit, the GCFFC convened Platinum sponsors ADGM, ADCB, UAE NAMLCFTC, and MENA FCCG alongside Gold sponsors Emirates NBD, LSEG, and Binance — representing the broadest convergence of public-sector and private-sector financial crime prevention capability in the digital asset space to date. Why it matters for compliance: The GCFFC represents the highest-level international forum for translating financial crime policy into operational practice, and its growing focus on virtual assets signals that crypto-asset compliance is no longer a niche concern but a central pillar of global financial crime prevention strategy.
