#EUPrivacyCoinBan The European Union wants to end crypto anonymity by 2027

Hey, everyone! Let's chat about what's happening in the crypto world. The European Union announced that, starting from July 1, 2027, it will ban the use of privacy coins and anonymous crypto wallets. This decision is part of the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which aims to increase transparency in digital financial transactions.

Coins like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash, known for providing anonymity in transactions, will be prohibited throughout the European Union. Additionally, any crypto transaction above €1,000 will require full identity verification, aligning crypto rules with those of the traditional banking system.

To ensure compliance with these new rules, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will be created, which will directly supervise up to 40 Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs) operating in at least six EU member countries. These companies must have more than 20,000 users or move more than €50 million per year to be under AMLA supervision.

This measure has sparked heated debates. While regulators argue that it is a necessary action to prevent illicit activities, critics point out that it could compromise the financial privacy of legitimate users and stifle innovation in the crypto sector.
