IRELAND DRAFTING URGENT CRYPTO LAWS BEFORE EU MONEY-LAUNDERING RULES

Ireland is preparing to draft “urgent” cryptocurrency regulations ahead of upcoming European Union Anti-Money Laundering and terror financing standards.

Ireland’s Finance Minister, Jack Chamberstold the cabinet that urgent legislation would be drafted to update crypto regulations before the EU laws take effect on Dec. 30, the Irish Examiner reported on Oct. 16.

No details were shared about the new crypto legislation or when it might come into force.

The EU’s “Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act” will enhance the powers of financial intelligence units, enabling them to suspend transactions.

It will also impose stricter reporting requirements for crypto exchanges and a 10,000 euro ($10,850) limit on cash paymentsThere will be more stringent monitoring of large transactions and new reporting requirements for high-value transactions.

The legislative framework covers a range of areas posing risks, including crypto assets and crowdfundingIt also “complements other regulations such as Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA),” the European Commission noted earlier.

In September, Derville Rowlanddeputy governor of the Central Bank of Ireland, said that the country aims to stay at the forefront of safe innovation through MiCA.

She said that crypto regulations were essential for Europe to become a global leader in adapting and adopting new technologies.

The EU’s MiCA regulations — separate from its AML/CFT act — came into effect in June 2023.

“It is important that Ireland, as a small, open economy with a thriving financial services industry, is an active participant in preventing its financial system from being used for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes,” said the Central Bank of Ireland.

As of July, the Central Bank of Ireland had approved 15 virtual asset service providers. These included Gemini, Ripple, Paysafe, MoonPay and Coinbase, which agreed to delist non-compliant stablecoins from its European platform.

CHEVRON OVERTURN UNLIKELY TO IMPACT SEC'S CONDUCT — RIPPLE CLO

In 2023 alone, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed over 20 lawsuits against firms and individuals in the crypto industry.

Ripple’s chief legal officerStuart Alderotybelieves that the June 2024 overturn of Chevron USA Inc. vs. Natural Resources Defense Council by the United States Supreme Court will have little impact on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) strategy of pursuing crypto compliance through enforcement.

In an interview with Cointelegraph’s Turner Wright, Alderoty stressed that only a leadership change would cause a shift in SEC posturing.

“I think under this leadership, the SEC has done tremendous institutional damage to what was once a very well-respected agency,” the Ripple CLO said.

Alderoty also stated that the SEC’s continued litigation against the crypto industry — including the recent appeal in the Ripple lawsuit — was deliberate and meant to create maximum confusion among industry participants:

"This SEC, under this leadership, I don't think they much care if they're right or wrong as a matter of law. I think their goal is through a massive wave of enforcement actions — and now on appeal — to keep a cloud of legal uncertainty over the industry."

“I think ultimately they will be proven wrong again. I don’t think they’re bothered by that,” Alderoty said, before characterizing the SEC’s aggressive stance toward the crypto sector as “Very disturbing.”

Loper Bright vs. Raimondo — overturning 40 years of precedent
The 40-year precedent set by the Chevron case in 1984 was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo case on June 28, 2024.

The 1984 decision paved the way for courts to defer to regulatory agencies and their internal — often arbitrary — methods of policy enforcement.

For the nascent crypto industry, this meant that startups faced prohibitive regulatory demands from multiple government regulators that choked off innovation and discouraged investment, especially from institutional firms.

In July 2024
Uniswap Labs cited the Chevron overturn as an argument against the SEC’s proposed expansion of what legally qualifies as an “exchange” under the Exchange Act of 1934 — a regulatory change that would bring decentralized finance projects under the purview of the SEC.
