EU Draft Law Seeks to Identify Bitcoin Users, End Anonymity

in #bitcoin7 years ago

A newly drafted proposal to amend the existing directive of preventing money laundering and terrorism financing is seeking to introduce significant regulatory authority over the usage of digital currencies like bitcoin.

An excerpt from the proposal reads:

"To combat the risks related to the anonymity, national Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) should be able to associate virtual currency addresses to the identity of the owner of virtual currencies."
