Europe Is Reshaping Crypto Laws by 2027

The European Union is set to enforce sweeping changes in the crypto landscape with the upcoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which will take full effect on July 1, 2027. Under the new law, privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH) will be banned across EU member states. Crypto exchanges operating in Europe—including major platforms like Binance—will be required to delist these assets.

Additionally, all users will need to undergo strict identity verification (KYC) to access trading services, marking a significant shift toward greater transparency. While regulators claim these measures are crucial to fighting illicit finance, critics argue they undermine core principles of privacy and decentralization that underpin blockchain technology.

Binance has already begun adapting to the tightening regulatory environment. In a move to align with the EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework, the exchange recently delisted nine stablecoins for European users, signaling the start of broader compliance changes ahead.
