But as Armstrong alluded to, the net result, if imposed, would be contrary to our freedoms.<\/p>\n<h2>How is the crypto sector affected?<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/finance\/docs\/law\/210720-proposal-aml-cft_en.pdf\">92-page report<\/a> from the EU unveiled several proposals to expand the supervision of financial transactions in the region.<\/p>\n<p>This includes forming a new body, staffed by 250 workers, tasked with surveilling &#8220;risky&#8221; financial institutions and prohibiting cash transactions greater than \u20ac10,000 ($11,800).<\/p>\n<p>The report also raised concerns over the &#8220;anonymity of crypto-assets,&#8221; which they consider conducive to misuse for criminal purposes. It adds, &#8220;anonymous crypto-wallets&#8221; hamper the traceability of asset transfers while also hindering attempts to identify financial trails.<\/p>\n<p>To counter this, they suggest prohibiting exchanges from allowing the transfer of cryptocurrencies to &#8220;anonymous crypto-asset wallets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span id=\"page66R_mcid5\" class=\"markedContent\"><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8220;In order to ensure effective <\/span><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">application of AML\/CFT requirements to crypto<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">assets, it is necessary to prohibit the <\/span><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">provision and the custody of anonymous crypto<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">asset wallets by crypto<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">asset s<\/span><span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ervice <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">providers.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a further attempt to shut down illicit crypto transactions, the proposal also mentions outlawing &#8220;anonymous crypto-asset wallets&#8221; altogether.<\/p>\n<p>According to EU Financial Sevices commissioner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-20\/eu-proposes-ban-on-anonymous-cryptocurrency-transactions\">Mairead McGuinness<\/a>, money laundering is a threat to &#8220;citizens, democratic institutions, and the financial system.&#8221; She said the proposals are necessary to thwart dirty money being washed through the system.<\/p>\n<h2>What happened to the U.S plans to outlaw &#8220;self-hosted wallets&#8221;?<\/h2>\n<p>Last November, Coinbase CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/btc-dumps-as-coinbase-ceo-mentions-us-regulations-for-crypto-wallets\/\">Brian Armstrong<\/a> posted a series of tweets on rumors the U.S Treasury was moving to ban &#8220;self-hosted crypto wallets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong has since deleted those tweets. But the points he raised painted a picture of woe for the U.S crypto industry. He spoke of walled gardens and innovation and capital flowing to more crypto-friendly jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>Having had a change of government between then and now, the issue seems to have died down with no updates on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, with the EU picking up the baton, it's clear that global authorities are still cognizant of the threat crypto poses to legacy finance.<\/p>\n<p>As legendary investor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/26\/bridgewaters-ray-dalio-good-probability-government-outlaws-bitcoin.html\">Ray Dalio<\/a> mentioned, governments will do all they can to retain monopoly control of the money supply.<\/p>\n<p>More worryingly, the EU proposals take the stance that all crypto holders are criminals. If ever there was a case of government overreach, this is it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU is looking at stricter crypto controls under the guise of preventing money laundering and terrorist financing.
