#EUPrivacyCoinBan

The European Union has strengthened legislation on combating money laundering (AML). According to 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 created EU authority for combating money laundering (AMLA), established in 2024, will be responsible for the implementation 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 identifying one-off and related transactions.
