EU - Payments with cryptocurrencies should no longer be anonymous even from one cent, EU Parliament committees demand. Unlike the EU Commission, relevant committees of the EU Parliament do not want any exceptions to apply to the identification requirement for crypto transactions. The EU Commission had proposed an exemption limit of 1,000 euros. The background to all the considerations is a package of regulations proposed by the EU Commission last summer. Like the German Crypto Transfers Ordinance (KryptoTransferV), which Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) proposed while still Finance Minister at the time, the EU regulation essentially deals with crypto service providers. When buying and selling crypto-assets, they are supposed to collect the data of the persons involved, keep it and transfer it to an authority upon request. According to the expectations of the politicians, this should result in transparent traceability, which should take into account the state's interests in fighting crime.
