🔥 AML/CFT Rules under MiCA & AMLR: Crypto KYC Explained (2026)
Crypto no longer Wild West! MiCA + AMLR force exchanges & custodians (CASPs) to act like banks.
Key rules:
✅ CASPs = obliged entities – full AML/CFT program required
✅ Ban on anonymous accounts & anonymizing services
✅ KYC / Customer Due Diligence mandatory for occasional transactions ≥ €1,000
✅ Enhanced checks on self-hosted wallet transfers
✅ Continuous monitoring + suspicious activity reports to FIU (any amount)
✅ Ties perfectly with TFR for full traceability
Self-custody wallets still 100% legal – rules target service providers only.
Safer market, same innovation!
⚠️ Educational only – not legal advice.
