Under a package of legislation targeting anti-money laundering, the European Union is building a new regulator that will have direct oversight over crypto businesses

Nothing unexpected really. Of course, the reasons said would be to protect end users from scams. And that will partly get also achieved. This will make some scam businesses no longer have a chance to exist in EU. But of course, the result will be more stupid rules, more KYC, more things that will make bitcoin more appealing for companies and less appealing for the law abiding citizen.

True, that's what their reasons (or excuses?) to impose and mandate another set of KYC. Lol, protecting the consumers but at the back of our mind maybe they want to know everything what their citizens is doing.

But who knows, we as enthusiast did try our best to follow, but for those who are bent of protecting their privacies, maybe there will be another way, circumvent this rules to hide their personal information against the prying eyes of this regulators.

I believe that will do good for crypto. Many people will raise concern over private and similar stuffs but bitcoin's buggest enemy is its own reputation and its unwanted involvement with criminal proceeds. If the upcoming legislation can provide a framework related to crypto businesses, that will definitely help to reduce illegal use of cryptos.

I foresee that slowly many other countries will start having their own legal framework around cryptocurrencies and their transactions. May be EU will lead the way here!

Sorry. The European Union imposing more regulations? No way.

Seriously now, this is simply another step along the lines of wanting to control the cryptocurrency market (including Bitcoin, obviously) in the same way that the banking sector or the stock market is controlled.

We already saw a preview of what is intended, which is KYC for all transactions without a minimum exempt among other things, the preliminary draft of which has already been approved:

Goodbye, privacy, goodbye, it was nice while it lasted.

"Under a package of legislation targeting anti-money laundering, the European Union is building a new regulator that will have direct oversight over crypto businesses.
Many negotiations remain before the “Anti-Money Laundering Authority,” or AMLA, goes live, but all signs are that it’s on the way. "
