Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWire) -- 09/30/2022 --The goal of making it more difficult for criminals to tap into crypto for criminal purposes is attracting increasing attention on a global level. In the EU a new agreement has been reached that will extend the rules on information accompanying the transfer of funds so that this also includes crypto currencies. Anti-money laundering solutions, and the regulation behind them, must necessarily expand to include crypto currencies as this is, increasingly, where the largest vulnerabilities lie. The new EU "travel rule" is intended to ensure a much higher level of transparency when it comes to crypto assets than is currently the case. It will also give the EU a robust framework that it can use with respect to ensuring that it meets international requirements and standards on the exchange of crypto-assets.

What this new push for anti-money laundering solutions within the EU will achieve is introducing an obligation on crypto asset service providers to ensure that information about the originator and the beneficiary of crypto assets transfers is much more accessible. This is already a requirement with respect to wire transfers handled by payment operators so it's a logical next step that it should be applied to the expansion of the industry to crypto too. It will mean that it's much easier to trace crypto-asset transfers and give the EU more power when it comes to dealing with the risks of money laundering and financial terrorism. It's part of the range of anti-money laundering solutions that are going to become more focused on crypto in the years to come.
