The government is discussing an emergency regulation that would subject cryptocurrency transactions to stricter due diligence and anti-money laundering regulations. According to the regulation, analyzed by Profit.ro, cryptocurrency issuers and trading platforms would have to be authorized and would come under the supervision of the ASF or BNR.
This is a new step towards regulating the cryptocurrency market. Measures are being tightened to eliminate the anonymity of transactions (if they go through a platform, the payer and beneficiary must be identified) – the authorities have over time accused the fact that through cryptocurrencies, as an alternative to bank transactions, legislation can be circumvented and illegal activities are financed.
