Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the types of crimes taking place using NFT in P2E games, and to devise measures to prevent crimes and legal sanctions between the government and companies. Method: In order to classify crime types in the metaverse, crime types were analyzed based on the results of previous studies and current incidents. Results: Most of the crimes taking place through NFTs in P2E games are hacking, money laundering, and copyright issues. Although games are regulated in Korea, these are crimes that can occur if game regulations are loosened in the future. Therefore, crime types were classified into hacking, money laundering, tax evasion, copyright issues, and game speculation, and various cases of damage have already occurred in foreign countries. Conclusion: Currently, no crimes are occurring in Korea due to game regulations, but as seen in foreign cases, large amounts of hacking and money laundering using NFTs are taking place in Korea. this will have to be provided
