Zcash: EU AMLR prohibits anonymisation-enhancing coin accounts - 10 Jul 2027

The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation now prohibits crypto service providers from offering accounts for anonymity-enhancing coins like Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR), effective across member states. This results in an EU-wide access ban for these assets on regulated venues, forcing service providers to choose between delisting or risking compliance breaches. Both tokens have already faced major EU delistings, potentially limiting the impact of this ban.
