Krypto-Assets im Fokus der EU – Regulierung und Informationsaustausch (DAC 8) als Schlüssel zu einer sicheren und effizienten Nutzung

The term “virtual currencies” has recently been defined in the 5 th Anti-Money Laundering Directive and thus the operators of crypto exchanges are obligated to perform significant customer due diligence. Moreover, the EU has submitted a proposal to expand and improve the current cross-border exchange of information system to also cover crypto assets and e-money in the near future. Michael Deichsel and Michael Petritz provide information about both developments.
