AFM da Holanda: (Regulamento de Supervisão do Mercado de Criptoativos) entra em vigor em 30 de dezembro

A Autoridade Holandesa para os Mercados Financeiros (AFM) alertou os investidores sobre os riscos dos golpes de “pump and dump” de criptomoedas e anunciou que o Regulamento de Mercado sobre Criptoativos (MiCA) entrará em vigor em 30 de dezembro. O MiCA proíbe explicitamente a manipulação de mercado e a AFM será responsável por monitorizar e fazer cumprir os novos regulamentos nos Países Baixos.

AFM stated that MiCA aims to enhance transparency and market integrity in the crypto industry, although it cannot eliminate all risks. To this end, AFM recently investigated several 'pump and dump' cases and plans to enforce strict regulations after the implementation of MiCA.

In addition, industry experts warn that MiCA may lead crypto companies to migrate to the Middle East, increasing the centralization risk in the industry.

The EBA has established guidelines for restrictive measures for cryptocurrency providers, which will take effect from December 30, 2025.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) released new guidelines for payment service providers (PSPs) and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) on November 14, clarifying that these institutions must comply with the restrictive measures systems of the EU and its member states when making transfers. The EBA noted that these guidelines will help financial institutions effectively implement restrictive measures within their governance and risk management frameworks to avoid operational and legal risks.

The EBA emphasizes that gaps in controls, internal policies, and procedures of financial institutions may lead to legal and reputational risks, weakening the effectiveness of EU sanctions and potentially impacting the stability of the EU financial system. The new guidelines require PSPs and CASPs to use reliable screening systems to prevent users or entities from circumventing sanctions. These guidelines will take effect from December 30, 2025.
