MEPs Vote In Favor Of Tighter AML Regulations For Crypto Trading

Members of the European Parliament have voted in favour of EU anti-money laundering reforms.

The new reforms strengthen transparency rules to prevent the large-scale concealment of funds, with specific stipulations to address risks associated with cryptocurrencies. 5AMLD requires crypto exchanges and custodian wallet providers to apply customer due diligence controls, to be registered, and also puts pressure on trusts and trading companies to reveal holders of virtual currency.

Ethereum Proof Of Stake requirements published

This EIP specifies a hybrid PoW/PoS consensus model for Ethereum main net. Existing PoW mechanics are used for new block creation, and a novel PoS mechanism called Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (FFG) is layered on top using a smart contract.

Through the use of Ether deposits, slashing conditions, and a modified fork choice, FFG allows the underlying PoW blockchain to be finalized. As network security is greatly shifted from PoW to PoS, PoW block rewards are reduced.

To become Casper validator 1500 ETH deposit will be required. If there is 10 million ETH in total depoits, validators will earn 5% p.a. funds will be frozen for 4 months
