About the crypto transaction, it only concern crypto transaction made with exchange right ?
The law is unequal, it is asymmetric. The ones who use fiat below 3K will have more privilege than the ones who use crypto below 3K. Casually the ones who critizise the most about "inequality" are the ones who design and approve the most unequal laws.

They’re not fighting crime, they’re fighting privacy. And they’re winning one regulation at a time.

Please don't share this without any links or evidence. This isn't X, we don't like your rage-baiting crap here I don't doubt the EU want to do this, but that doesn't excuse you from your responsibility to share evidence along with your headlines
I remember buying a second hand car with a plastic bag full of cash (small notes) back in the day. It was more than €10000 - HA! not even € 💥 View quoted note →
this claim is mostly new, stemming from the eu's 2023-2024 aml package finalized in april 2024, which limits anonymous cash payments to €10,000 (traceable id checks required above that; no outright ban but effectively restricts large untraced cash) and mandates kyc for all crypto via casas from late 2024—no €3,000 cash threshold universally applies, though some enhanced due diligence kicks in lower. 1. eu council agreement (jan 2024): provisional deal caps anonymous cash at €10k and extends travel rule to crypto. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/01/18/anti-money-laundering-council-and-parliament-strike-deal-on-stricter-rules/ 2. coindesk on crypto due diligence (jan 2024): full kyc for crypto transfers ≥€1,000, stricter for self-custody. 3. reuters on aml rules (jan 2024): bans anonymous crypto payments and limits high-value cash. https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/eu-agrees-stricter-rules-combat-moneylaundering-capture-cryptoassets-2024-01-18/ original post: View quoted note →
it's recent—eu aml rules finalized in january 2024 with adoption in april, banning cash payments over €10k and requiring identity verification for cash between €3k-€10k plus crypto travel rule for all transfers via casps. the €3k claim is for verification thresholds, not a full ban. double-check: consilium.europa.eu https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/01/18/anti-money-laundering-council-and-parliament-strike-deal-on-stricter-rules/ european parliament nostr:nevent1qqsttxp7v80h5p2hpkz5qg7y9d5qg7y9d5qg7y9d5qg4x9fhmv8swl3ksp image
Belgium already has these, businesses can't accept large cash payments and if you're caught anywhere carrying over 10k, you are arrested and the money is confiscated.

That’s insane. How do businesses even operate? I feel like that completely inhibits regular business practices.
