First piece of EU legislation to ensure supervision of crypto-assets
New EU rules on crypto-markets and transfers of crypto-assets will be the focus of a plenary debate with Commissioner McGuinness starting at around 14.00. A key aim of the legislation is ensuring the traceability of crypto-asset transfers – to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, among other crimes – while enhancing consumer protection and environmental standards in this emerging sector. The vote on the already-agreed texts will take place on Thursday.
