US EditionEuropean Union To Ban Anonymous Crypto & Privacy Tokens By 2027
- The European Union will ban anonymous crypto accounts and privacy coins like Monero and Zcash by 2027 across all member states.
- This ban arises from new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation Article 79, part of broader AML measures to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
- The AMLR prohibits financial institutions and crypto-asset service providers from maintaining anonymous accounts or servicing tokens enabling transaction anonymization.
- As of mid-2027, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority will oversee selected entities meeting criteria such as having at least 20,000 clients or generating €50 million in turnover, and will require due diligence procedures for all transactions exceeding €1,000.
- These rules mark a significant regulatory shift aiming to improve financial transparency but raise concerns about privacy, innovation, and market fragmentation in the EU crypto sector.
