According to the new regulatory framework, crypto asset service providers (CASPs) operating in at least 6 member states will be subject to direct anti-money laundering supervision.

In the initial phase, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) plans to select 40 entities, with at least one entity from each member state. The selection process will begin on July 1, 2027.

AMLA will use "significance thresholds" to ensure that only companies "with substantial operations in multiple jurisdictions will be considered for direct supervision."

These thresholds include "having at least 20,000 customers in the member state" or a total transaction volume exceeding 50 million euros (approximately 56 million US dollars).

Other important measures include mandatory customer due diligence for transactions exceeding 1,000 euros (approximately 1,100 US dollars).

These updates are issued against the backdrop of the EU strengthening regulation of the cryptocurrency industry and are a complement to previous measures such as the regulation of crypto asset markets (MiCA).
