#EUPrivacyCoinBan This decision has generated intense controversy among advocates of digital privacy and regulators. Those who criticize the measure argue that financial privacy is a fundamental right, and that these currencies offer protection against mass tracking, data theft, and unjustified financial surveillance. They also emphasize that financial crimes represent only a fraction of the actual use of these cryptocurrencies, and that their prohibition will negatively affect developers, legitimate users, and technological innovation in Europe. On the other hand, authorities argue that the lack of transparency in these currencies complicates transaction traceability and compromises public safety.
