#EUPrivacyCoinBan Prohibition of Anonymous Accounts: Financial entities and CASPs will not be allowed to maintain anonymous crypto accounts or provide services that enable the obfuscation of transactions.
* Ban on Privacy Coin Transactions: Transactions involving cryptocurrencies specifically designed for anonymity, such as Monero and Zcash, will be prohibited for regulated entities within the EU.
* Mandatory Identity Verification: The regulations introduce mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) checks for cryptocurrency transfers exceeding 1,000 euros.
* Establishment of AMLA: A new Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will be established to directly supervise large, high-risk CASPs operating across multiple EU member states, ensuring consistent application and enforcement of the new rules.
While the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation provides a comprehensive framework for crypto-assets in the EU, the specific prohibition on privacy coins and anonymous accounts is a key component of the new AMLR, reflecting the EU's intensified focus on preventing the use of cryptocurrencies for illicit purposes.
This development signifies a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in Europe, prioritizing traceability and transparency over the privacy features offered by certain digital assets.
