These included <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paddi_hansen\/status\/1771929901324554655\">proposals<\/a> to cap self-custody payments at \u20ac1,000 and subject decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), DeFi, and non-fungible token (NFT) platforms to AMLR obligations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP) in Europe would have to implement stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures to combat money laundering following the European Parliament greenlight of new Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (AMLR), according to an April 24 statement.
