Global oversight on cryptocurrencies tightens as FATF focuses on stablecoins and DeFi.
Only The Bahamas complies fully, but many countries are making progress in meeting FATF's anti-money laundering standards.
Stablecoins and DeFi are deemed high-risk areas due to increasing illicit activities, particularly by North Korean entities.
Enforcement is lacking, with only four jurisdictions registering DeFi entities and little supervisory action taken.
Singapore and Hong Kong are ramping up regulations, with Singapore cracking down on unlicensed exchanges and Hong Kong advancing stablecoin legislation.
FATF cautions that outright bans may not effectively reduce crypto activities and could harm oversight efforts.
