🛂 Privacy Coins Face EU Ban Under New AML Rules Starting 2027
🤐 Privacy coins and anonymous crypto wallets might soon become history in the European Union.
As part of a sweeping overhaul to tighten anti-money laundering rules, the EU has announced plans to ban both by July 1, 2027. The message is clear: crypto can stay, but it has to play by the same rules as the rest of the financial system.
😶🌫️ Regulators make it clear that privacy coins in the EU will not be tolerated under the updated AML framework.The proposal isn’t just a slap on the wrist. It would completely outlaw anonymous crypto accounts across the EU.
That means crypto service providers, exchanges, and even financial institutions would be banned from offering services that don’t collect customer identification.The EU’s 2027 deadline is going to force some serious changes in how crypto operates within its borders.
Service providers will need to build out robust know-your-customer systems and rethink how they deal with privacy tools.
It’s not yet evident if other regions will follow suit, but one thing is clear:
Europe is bringing the freewheeling days of anonymous crypto to an end.
