#EUPrivacyCoinBan The European Union has moved forward with a ban on privacy coins as part of its updated anti-money laundering regulations. Coins such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash, known for obscuring transaction details, are now prohibited on crypto exchanges operating within the EU. Regulators argue that these coins hinder transparency and facilitate illicit financial activities. The legislation, finalized in 2025, aims to align with the EU’s broader financial surveillance goals and digital asset oversight. Critics claim the ban undermines individual financial privacy and innovation. Supporters, however, say it's essential for preventing crime. Exchanges must now delist privacy coins to remain compliant with the new rules.
