On 9 October 2025, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published a report on tackling ML/TF risks in crypto-asset services through supervision. The report aims to support the effective implementation of the new legal framework introduced by the MiCAR[1] and to promote greater consistency in supervisory practices, particularly in the context of strengthening the European anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) framework in the crypto-asset market. The report presents, inter alia, the findings derived from supervisory activities carried out to this date, concerning the identification and management of ML/TF risks in the crypto-asset sector. It also analyses measures that some entities have taken to circumvent national supervision.
