From July 1, 2027, the EU will completely ban privacy coins such as Monero, Zcash, and Dash, and even mixers, the so-called 'money laundering machines', will be eliminated in one fell swoop! This is not a joke — the EU Parliament has just passed the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which has effectively sentenced anonymous transactions to 'life imprisonment'.

Think about it, the ring signature technology of Monero and the zero-knowledge proof of Zcash, these 'black technologies' that once made hackers and money launderers rejoice, are now ticking time bombs on the road to compliance. What’s even more absurd is that while self-custody wallets are not directly banned, as long as the transfer exceeds 1000 euros, exchanges must scrutinize your identity information like a house inspection: name, address, source of funds, none can escape!

The market response is even more surreal: once the news broke, the prices of privacy coins plummeted, but the next day, Monero actually rose by 5%! This operation made retail investors exclaim, 'The stricter the regulation, the stronger the belief.' However, experts warn that this is just the calm before the storm — once the deadline of 2027 arrives, these coins will either change their appearances or completely fade away.
