The Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM) has warned of the risks of pump-and-dump schemes in cryptocurrency ahead of the implementation of new regulations.

- The MiCAR regulation, which prohibits market manipulation such as pump-and-dumps, comes into force on December 30.

- The AFM will monitor compliance with the new rules in the Netherlands.

MiCAR aims to increase transparency and fairness in the crypto market, but will not eliminate all risks.

- Pump-and-dump schemes undermine trust in cryptocurrencies, which is important for their long-term potential.

Some companies may move to the Middle East due to the new regulations.
