Circle’s Hansen Clarifies EU AMLR Won’t Ban Self-Custody Wallets

Patrick Hansen, Circle’s Director of EU Strategy and Policy, has once again addressed concerns regarding the European Union’s Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), clarifying that the regulation does not intend to ban self-custody wallets or peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions. This follows a pattern established in March 2024 when he debunked similar claims about the EU banning anonymous crypto wallets.
