#EUPrivacyCoinBan The European Union has strengthened legislation on anti-money laundering (AML). According to the new rules, starting from 2027, the circulation of so-called "anonymous coins," such as Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), on platforms that fall under the regulation of crypto-assets (MiCA) will be prohibited. The newly established EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), created in 2024, will be responsible for the enforcement and detailing of the rules.

By July 10, 2026, AMLA will publish:

technical standards for high-risk sectors;

transaction thresholds requiring enhanced scrutiny;

criteria for the identification of one-off and related transactions.
