Since then monero has been relatively stable and gained aprox. 400% in two years.
People who are still worried about political acceptance etc. Should be grateful that monero is not part of this over regulated system, the money that are flowing around here is 95% debt and it would only disrupt the price of xmr the day that it implodes. EU's bureaucracy is not a gift, it's a curse and it should be celebrated that we are not a part of it.
quoting🚨 The EU is tightening the screws on privacy coins like Monero $XMR.

🔒 The 2027 Intermediary Ban:
The EU’s new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) officially kicks in on July 10, 2027. It completely bans regulated crypto exchanges, custodians, and digital banks across all 27 EU states from offering or supporting privacy-enhancing coins.
📉 The Preemptive Delistings:
You don’t have to wait until 2027 to feel the impact. Major platforms like Kraken and Binance have already stripped Monero from their European catalogs to protect their regional operating licenses under the broader MiCA framework.
🔍 The €1,000 Identity Trigger:
Even for standard crypto, the anonymous window is shutting. Any occasional transaction worth €1,000 or more now triggers enhanced KYC checks, all overseen by a powerful new watchdog agency (AMLA).
💼 What Remains Legal?:
The EU is blocking the commercial on- and off-ramps, not the code.
- Self-custody remains legal.
- P2P transfers between private wallets are outside the scope of the intermediary ban.
💡 The Big Takeaway:
The state isn't outlawing the math behind privacy; they are outlawing the businesses that bridge it to the traditional financial system. In response, the privacy community is aggressively migrating toward decentralized alternatives like atomic swaps and non-custodial P2P channels.
