  • EU regulators set out guidelines on restrictions for cryptocurrency providers

    the European Banking Authority (EBA) is the European regulatory agency responsible for addressing weaknesses in the European banking industry. It has issued two sets of guidelines, including specific guidelines for payment service providers (PSPs) and cryptocurrency asset service providers (CASPs). On November 14th, EBA released guidelines that specify the measures that PSPs and CASPs must take when transferring funds or cryptocurrency to comply with EU and national restrictive measures. According to EBA, these guidelines ensure the implementation of EU and national sanctions. EBA believes that weaknesses in control, internal policies, and procedures may pose legal and reputational risks to financial institutions (including PSPs and CASPs). In addition, weak links in these areas for financial institutions may also "weaken" the effectiveness of the EU's restrictive measures system. The European Banking Authority emphasizes that this may lead to rule evasion, thereby affecting the stability of the EU's financial ecosystem. According to ECA, these guidelines will apply from December 30, 2025.
