Jamaica's Financial Investigations Division Gains Access to Global Crypto Tracing Platform

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica's Financial Investigations Division (FID) has moved to sharpen its response to complex financial crime by securing access to Asset Reality, an international platform used by law enforcement and government bodies to seize, manage, liquidate and withdraw virtual assets.

The arrangement took effect on April 27, 2026, and gives the FID full use of the Asset Reality Platform, together with onboarding sessions and staff training on its core functions. The platform additionally supports the custody, liquidation and withdrawal of virtual assets tied to investigations and asset-recovery matters.

According to the FID, the move is part of a broader push to strengthen its ability to follow illicit money — both through traditional banking channels and across blockchain-based transactions involving cryptocurrency and other digital assets.

“Financial criminals are adapting, and Jamaica's enforcement capabilities must adapt even faster. This platform will strengthen the FID's ability to identify, secure, manage and recover illicit physical and virtual assets in a manner that supports investigations, protects the integrity of Jamaica's financial system, and reinforces our international credibility as a serious partner in the fight against financial crime,” said FID Chief Technical Director Dennis Chung.
