      abstract = {The rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has transformed the global financial environment, offering unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In the year 2009, after the global crash of 2008, the first form of cryptocurrency has emerged in the form of Bitcoin. It was first introduced by (Nakamoto, 2008), an anonymous group or individual that has introduced Bitcoin as the first digital currency for easier day-to-day transaction from individual to individual. Subsequently, numerous additional cryptocurrencies have emerged, with many gaining popularities within the cryptocurrency industry. The value of these digital coins stems from their inherent characteristics and their acceptance in the financial ecosystem, resulting in steady growth in value due to increasing investor interest. They operate with features that make financial transactions open-source, decentralized, peer-to-peer, anonymous, and free from regulatory and time-consuming intermediaries. However, the technical aspects of these currencies make them highly appealing to cybercriminals. This research aims to investigate the impact of Bitcoin-related cybercrime on the financial system, with a particular focus on illegal crypto mining and associated criminological behavioral threats. By exploring the financial, regulatory, and systemic implications, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the risks posed by cybercriminal activities and propose effective countermeasures.},
