🔒 The EU Tightens Crypto Controls
A new supervisory body has started working in the European Union – AMLA (Anti-Money Laundering Authority), which from July 2027 will introduce strict rules for all crypto companies. The goal is to increase transparency in the crypto market and strengthen the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing.
The new regulator has broad powers to control and regulate crypto exchanges, wallets, exchangers, and other services dealing with digital assets.
What exactly will change:
- Full verification of all beneficiaries and shareholders of crypto platforms – no anonymity in ownership structures.
- Ban on the use of anonymous wallets and privacy coins like Monero, Zcash, and others that complicate transaction tracking.
- Mandatory direct access for government authorities to users’ account data on crypto platforms to quickly identify suspicious operations.
- Introduction of heavy fines, activity bans, and criminal cases for companies that fail to comply with AMLA requirements.
These measures will affect all market participants – from the largest exchanges to small exchangers and wallets. It is expected that tighter regulation will increase trust in cryptocurrencies among traditional financial institutions and governments, but may also cause some players to exit the market due to the high cost of compliance.
The new regulation is part of the EU’s comprehensive strategy to bring the crypto industry to common security and transparency standards. Similar measures are being discussed in other parts of the world, with Europe aiming to set the tone for strict but balanced regulation.
What to expect next?
- Crypto companies will actively implement KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures.
- Cooperation between crypto services and law enforcement will strengthen.
- The market may shrink, but the quality and security of services will improve.
Conclusion:
Stricter control is an inevitable stage in the maturation of the crypto industry. For those ready to adapt, the new rules will open opportunities for long-term growth and integration with traditional finance.
