India Hosts 11th ARIN-AP Meeting With Virtual Asset Freezing on Agenda
- —India holds the 2026 ARIN-AP presidency; the New Delhi meeting is its first hosted AGM
- —Agenda includes virtual asset freezing, non-conviction-based confiscation and INTERPOL Silver Notices
- —The network spans 32 member jurisdictions and 10 observers, including INTERPOL, UNODC and the World Bank
- —India's Enforcement Directorate says it executed nearly 90% of international assistance requests since April 2024
Why it matters: Virtual assets are now formally folded into a multilateral proceeds-of-crime recovery framework, raising the risk of asset freezes for market participants across Asia.
