⚡️🇪🇺 ICYMI - EU will require identity checks for all cash transactions exceeding €3000 and all crypto transactions regardless of amount.
All cash transactions over €10000 will be banned.
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.
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 € 💥

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.

2. coindesk on crypto due diligence (jan 2024): full kyc for crypto transfers ≥€1,000, stricter for self-custody.
Probably for the good of the peoples, no? 💩

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.
