This report analyzes the legal conflicts arising from the cross-border exchange of crypto-asset user information between regulators and intelligence agencies. The research reveals the risks of mass data collection that disrupts the balance between combating financial crime and the right to privacy. The author details the mechanisms of Automated Exchange of Information (AEOI) systems and their expansion into the crypto sphere, pointing out the lack of effective control mechanisms over the subsequent use of this information. Special emphasis is placed on the threat of de-anonymization for vulnerable user groups and the need to establish legal barriers to prevent financial monitoring from being used as a tool for total digital surveillance and the restriction of civil liberties.
