The EU officially bans anonymous cryptocurrencies such as Monero and Zcash from July 1, 2027, according to the new AMLR law. Reason: increased transparency, anti-money laundering. Exchanges are not allowed to support anonymous wallets and must verify users for transactions from 1,000 euros. This decision is controversial as it affects privacy and the decentralized cryptocurrency community. While protecting the financial system, the ban raises concerns that the EU will undermine a core aspect of blockchain technology: users' privacy and financial freedom.
