Turbulence rocks the cryptocurrency arena of Europe as several committees of the European Parliament, wielding the sword of combat against anonymous payments, have greenlit a bill set to shake the very foundations of the digital currency ecosystem. This legislation aims to underscore the transparency and security of financial transactions, thrusting anonymous cryptocurrency wallets into the legal battleground.

Venturing into a realm of new norms and regulations, the bill erects barriers against anonymous payments. Private transactions for commercial purposes conducted through anonymous cryptocurrency wallets will now walk a legal tightrope if their sum exceeds €3,000. But that’s not all! Business transactions surpassing the grand €10,000 mark will face a complete and unequivocal prohibition among entrepreneurs or legal entities. 
However, things are not as straightforward as they may seem at first glance. The ban will only encompass those cryptocurrency wallets attempting to lurk in the shadows. Hardware and software providers, as well as non-custodial wallets, can breathe a sigh of relief as they remain outside the ban’s reach due to their lack of access or control over cryptocurrency assets. 
And now, attention! When withdrawing funds from centralized exchanges, platforms will have the ability to notify customers about prohibited wallets and demand explanations for such fund transfers. Fund transfers to and from exchanges will only be permitted through regulated platforms in EU member states. 
But wait, there’s more! Cryptocurrency wallet service providers will be obligated to identify each customer before opening a crypto wallet and account. Transparency isn’t just a motto; it’s the law! 
But don’t rush to pack away your cryptocurrency cards just yet, as this bill still requires approval from the European Parliament and the European Commission. However, passions are already running high, and legal firm Dillon Eustace speculates that the law may come into effect even sooner than anticipated. A revolution in Europe’s cryptocurrency sphere is on the horizon, and this wave of change will forever alter the financial landscape!
