Abstract:The bill is expected to move for trilogues with the European Commission and the European Council within the next two weeks.
Key Insights:
The ECON – LIBE voting session ended with the bill receiving majority support.
The bill is not expected to observe friction during the final vote either.
Crypto community observes this as a massive blow to self-hosted wallets.
The sovereignty of crypto lies in its decentralization, anonymity, and independence, but it seems like the EU Parliament does not much care for it.
The voting session that ended today puts the entire existence of self-hosted wallets at threat of extinction as no one would be willing to lose their right to anonymity in the European Union.
Another Threat to Crypto
The ECON – LIBE voting session released the results of the roll-call votes in which the votes were tallied as 58 for, 52 against, with 7 abstentions. This results in the approval of the amendments to the Transfer of Funds Regulation.
According to these amendments, crypto service providers will be required to verify the self-hosted wallets, which are also known as “Unhosted wallets”, owners identities.
However, the threat doesnt stop just at these wallets as the crypto service providers, primarily cryptocurrency exchanges, would also fall into the crosshairs of the regulators.
And the approval of this bill would provide the regulators with the ammunition to constantly monitor them, killing the purpose of crypto.
The reason people choose these self-hosted wallets is to ensure privacy and protection.
Still, the EU Parliament intends on abolishing that as the potential threat of an unwarranted investigation into ones business would keep people away from using them, thus bringing an end to this service in the EU.
