Unhosted crypto wallets face the wrath of EU

• The European Parliament needs to check the character of residents in any event
• Traditional legislators who go against de-anonymization of exchanges appear to realize they won’t win the vote
• The Economic Committee will decide on the new regulation on non hosted wallets on March 29

The European Parliament will cast a ballot to incorporate wallets, for example, Ledger or Metamask in the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) bundle as a component of the Money Transfer Regulation (TFR), ending the obscurity of practically all crypto installments.
