European 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 July 1, 2027, across all member states.
  • This ban follows the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation aiming to enhance financial transparency and prevent misuse of digital assets for money laundering and terrorism financing.
  • The regulation prohibits financial institutions and crypto-asset service providers from maintaining anonymous accounts and mandates customer due diligence for transactions above €1,000.
  • From mid-2027 onwards, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority will oversee forty key entities chosen for their substantial client numbers or transaction volumes, imposing stricter compliance obligations on these providers.
  • These measures mark a major shift toward stricter EU crypto oversight, potentially limiting privacy-focused innovation while improving market safety and integration with traditional finance.
