Люксембург включил криптовалютные биржи в систему оповещения ФИУ

Odaily Planet Daily News: Luxembourg has passed a new law authorizing its Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to send cross-institutional fraud alerts to traditional banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, with the measures taking effect on August 8. The law, numbered 8722, requires cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Luxembourg to receive alerts in sync with banks and payment institutions. The law aims to close the loophole enabling fraudulent funds to move rapidly between traditional financial institutions and digital assets. Under previous rules, banks could only block transactions involving flagged accounts within their own systems and were unable to notify other financial institutions or cryptocurrency exchanges to prevent fund inflows or outflows. Max Braun, head of Luxembourg’s FIU, stated that incorporating cryptocurrency exchanges into the cross-sector alert system will make it more difficult to cash out funds from related accounts. According to data from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Justice, in 2024, police recorded 6,382 fraud cases, and financial sector professionals submitted over 18,000 reports of fraud and scams.
