The phenomenon of cryptocurrency-based investment fraud in Indonesia reflects the growing vulnerability of the public to new crime schemes that exploit the development of financial technology. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of perpetrators in cryptocurrency investment fraud cases by examining statutory law, legal doctrines, and relevant regulations. The research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case approach. The findings indicate that perpetrators can be held criminally liable under the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP) on fraud, reinforced by the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE) concerning the misuse of electronic media. The study also finds that the main obstacles in law enforcement lie in proving digital transactions and tracing concealed assets. These results emphasize the need to strengthen specific regulations on cryptocurrency to ensure legal certainty and provide maximum protection for investors.
