Officials of the European Commission recently released a new bill proposing stricter standards for digital currency transactions and wallets, which shows a tightening of regulations for the cryptocurrency sector.

The central objective of the proposal is to stimulate strict supervision of crypto movements as part of a global strategy that allows the enforcement and strengthening of anti-money laundering (AML) and know your client (KYC) standards as well as avoiding “money laundering and terrorist financing.”

According to the proposed requirements, “companies and digital currency service providers must collect more information about the senders and recipients of transactions. Specifically, what is known as the FATF; the Financial Action Task Force travel rule would apply to cryptocurrency transactions to make them traceable.”

In the European Union, the recommendations made by FATF are already being applied to electronic transactions.

The bill states: “It aims to reflect in the amendments to EU legislation made in June 2019 to the Recommendation of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on new technologies to cover ‘virtual assets’ and ‘providers of services of virtual assets’. In particular, the new obligations of information for the CASP originators and beneficiaries in the two extremes of a transfer of cryptoassets.”

The proposal also establishes that all organizations that manage virtual assets must handle information on the identification of users since anonymous crypto-asset wallets will be prohibitedby the new law.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani emphasized the need to legalize cryptocurrency activities to preserve and protect national interests, during the meeting with his cabinet’s Economic Coordination Board, clarifying that crypto mining remains prohibited until late summer.

For the president of the Islamic republic, it is essential that the nation considers the technical and legal requirements related to cryptocurrencies and digital currencies, understanding the risks involved in cryptocurrency trading. In his opinion, the conscience of citizens in this area is very important to avoid unprofessional income.

Rouhani believes that to legalize the activity of cryptocurrencies and protect people’s capital, it is necessary to “think of a solution as soon as possible and establish and communicate the necessary laws and instructions.”

As will be recalled last month, Iran announced, through the Ministry of Energy, that crypto mining with domestic electricity is illegal, for which all those domestic miners who are discovered will be sanctioned with heavy fines. “The Ministries of Communications and Information Technology and Energy are in charge of cutting off the electricity supply to these centers.”

The measure of prohibition of cryptocurrency mining throughout the territory will meet the needs of the increase in domestic electricity consumption during hot summers in the country.
