The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation has raised concerns about potential restrictions on privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. While not an outright ban, MiCA's provisions may impact:
1. *Anonymity*: Limitations on anonymous transactions and enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
2. *Privacy coins*: Stricter regulations on cryptocurrencies prioritizing anonymity, like Monero (XMR) or Zcash (ZEC).
The aim is to enhance transparency and combat illicit activities. However, debates surround balancing regulation with individual privacy rights.
