Pengawasan Yudisial atas Penyitaan Aset Kripto: Integrasi Kerangka Hukum dan Prosedur Operasional

The rapid expansion of cryptocurrencies poses complex challenges for judicial oversight in digital asset seizures, particularly in cases of financial crimes such as money laundering and fraud. Although existing guidelines, like the Council of Europe’s Guide on Seizing Cryptocurrencies (2021), offer a framework for enforcement, significant gaps persist in legal harmonization, forensic evidence assessment, and procedural standards. This study examines standard operating procedures for cryptocurrency seizures with a focus on enhancing judicial oversight through the integration of uniform legal frameworks and standardized operational procedures. Utilizing a comprehensive literature review and analysis of landmark cases, the research identifies critical deficiencies in current practices and proposes evidence-based recommendations—including the adoption of advanced AI-driven forensic tools and the implementation of clear protocols for pre-seizure preparation, real-time judicial intervention, and secure asset management. The findings indicate that these measures substantially improve the transparency, accountability, and effectiveness of digital asset seizures, ultimately strengthening the judicial process in combating financial cybercrime.
