EU passes new AML rules for cryptocurrencies: Anonymous accounts banned from 2027
The European Union has recently adopted important rules to combat money laundering (AML) in the area of cryptocurrencies. These new regulations that come into force from 2027 prohibit anonymous crypto accounts and ensure that large service providers are under direct supervision.
With this regulation, the EU intends to increase transparency in the cryptom market and to minimize the risks of money laundering and financial crime. Anonymous accounts that enable users to carry out transactions without proof of identity will no longer be allowed in the future. This is a significant step towards creating a safer and more trustworthy environment for the use of digital currencies.In addition, it will be necessary for important service providers in the crypto industry to meet specific requirements for compliance with the AML requirements. As a result, the authorities can better have an eye on potentially suspicious activities and intervene in good time if signs of money laundering are recognized.
The new rules reflect the growing regulation in the cryptocurrency sector and should help increase the protection of consumers and to maintain the integrity of the financial systems.
Overall, this measure represents an important step to regulate the crypto industry and ensure that it operates in accordance with existing financial laws. The EU thus sets a clear sign of stricter surveillance and regulation in the field of digital currencies.
