#EUPrivacyCoinBan

The proposed #EUprivacyCoinBan has sparked serious debate within the crypto community. While the intention is to combat illicit financial activity, banning privacy coins like Monero and Zcash raises concerns about individual financial freedom and user privacy. These coins offer essential protection for those in oppressive regimes or handling sensitive transactions. A blanket ban could drive innovation offshore and weaken Europe’s role in shaping responsible crypto regulation. Instead of bans, a balanced approach—emphasizing transparency, optional privacy, and compliance—could support both innovation and legal oversight. Privacy should be a right, not a risk.
