From 10 July 2027, the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) will classify most crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) as financial institutions, requiring them to conduct customer due diligence, monitor relationships, retain records, and prevent anonymous crypto-asset accounts. CASPs must identify and verify customers even for occasional transactions below EUR 1,000, while transactions of EUR 1,000 or more trigger fuller due-diligence requirements such as beneficial-owner checks, risk assessment, sanctions screening, and ongoing monitoring. The regulation does not generally ban privacy-oriented crypto-assets or self-hosted wallets for individuals, but prohibits providers from maintaining accounts that enable customer or transaction anonymisation, including through anonymity-enhancing coins. Transfers involving self-hosted addresses remain permitted but require risk assessment and mitigating measures under the AMLR, while the already applicable Transfer of Funds Regulation requires ownership or control checks for such transfers above EUR 1,000. MiCA supplies the definition of a CASP, the AMLR establishes anti-money-laundering obligations, and the Transfer of Funds Regulation governs transfer-related information requirements. From 2028, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority may directly supervise a limited number of high-risk, cross-border CASPs, while most will remain overseen by national authorities.
