The EU Parliament has passed new anti-money laundering legislation that bans anonymous cryptocurrency payments.
The legislation applies to payments made through online service providers, also known as hosted wallets. It also applies to platforms that exchange virtual for regular fiat currency. It does not apply to owners of hardware and self-hosted wallets.
The new rules come to complement the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework, which passed last year and is scheduled to go into effect on December 30, 2024.
