Indonesia Jails Three for Terror Funding Using Crypto

Indonesian courts convicted three people in cases heard between 2024 and 2025 for channeling funds to terrorist groups through cryptocurrency, according to ChainThink. One defendant was found to have sent more than 49,000 USDT in 15 separate transfers to networks tied to ISIS. The country's financial intelligence unit, PPATK, worked with police to track the flows on-chain, using blockchain analysis to build evidence presented in court. Since 2024, Indonesia has tightened oversight of crypto trading platforms, requiring operators to comply with antimoney laundering and counterterrorism financing (AML/CFT) rules.
