🇪🇺 EU prepares to issue standardized guidance for the surveillance of "self-hosted wallets" The EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) is preparing to issue guidance for the technical requirements to surveil transactions between "self-hosted wallets" and accounts held with Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs). The guidance will lay out what steps CASPs must take to identify the owner of a self-custodial address as required by the EU's Transfer of Funds regulation, in effect since December 2024. The guidance will be issued by July 2027. image

So they will try to identify and monitor every single wallet that is created and used?? 😂
Entiendo que será un problema si quieres retirar tus BTC self hosted al exchange de turno, pero no si quieres enviarle esos BTC a otro a cambio de efectivo (P2P) de cold wallet a cold wallet

OGs see this coming for more than a decade. Silkroad in 2014 made it clear that Bitcoin has fungibility problems. Even Andy "Island" Back was talking about it, but no fix has ever been applied. Guess why so many OGs landed in camp Monero? Because we know what's at stake and fixes won't come to BTC.
It’s 2028: “We know you purchased Bitcoin at €80k and never sold however you can now either pay us 30% on your paper gains or go to jail.”
