The Council and Parliament reached a provisional agreement on parts of the anti-money laundering package that aims to protect EU citizens and the EU's financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing.
The provisional agreement includes measure to expand the list of obliged entities to new bodies. The new rules will cover "most of the crypto sector, forcing all cryptoasset service providers (CASPs) to conduct due diligence on their customers. This means that they will have to verify facts and information about their customers, as well as report suspicious activity."
According to the agreement, "CASPs will need to apply customer due diligence measures when carrying out transactions amounting to €1000 or more. It adds measures to mitigate risks in relation to transactions with self-hosted wallets."
The Council and Parliament also introduced specific enhanced due diligence measures for cross-border correspondent relationships for cryptoasset service providers.
