Cryptocurrency asset providers subject to direct AML supervision must operate in at least six EU member states. The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will initially select up to 40 high-risk cross-border entities in July 2027, with at least one from each member state.

To guide this process, AMLA will adopt Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), with thresholds — such as 20,000 customers or €50 million in transactions per host member state — to ensure that only firms with significant cross-border activities are supervised.

The privacy token category remains stable despite the latest EU plans, rising 3% in the last 24 hours. Leading privacy tokens Monero and ZCash increased by 5% and 3% in the last 24 hours.

This comes after Monero surged on Monday following reports of hackers converting approximately $330 million in stolen Bitcoin tokens into XMR. As a result, XMR's price surged by 50%, briefly reaching $317 before falling below $300. On-chain investigator ZachXBT was the first to flag suspicious transfers involving 3,500 BTC.
