The European Union’s proposed #EUPrivacyCoinBan risks undermining financial privacy, innovation, and individual freedom. Privacy coins like Monero and Zcash serve critical roles in safeguarding user confidentiality in an increasingly surveilled world. Banning such tools doesn’t deter crime—it weakens the rights of everyday people. Policymakers must understand that privacy is not secrecy—it’s security. A blanket ban will not stop bad actors but will harm legitimate users, developers, and future innovation. Regulatory clarity is essential, but it must not come at the cost of civil liberties. Let’s advocate smart regulation, not fear-driven overreach. The world watches Brussels closely.
