The Netherlands want to introduce licenzirovanie cryptocurrency companies, which will control the Central Bank (DNB), reports De Telegraaf.
According to the publication, this measure should help prevent the use of virtual currencies for money laundering or terrorist financing. In addition, licensing should if not eliminate, greatly reduce the anonymous use of cryptocurrency. Recipients of the approval of the Central Bank will need to know their customers (KYC rules) and to report suspicious transactions.
Currently the bill is under public discussion, and the regulator is seeking comments to him.

However, the FATF is already paying attention to the control of the cryptocurrency market in various countries, particularly the UK. Rosfinmonitoring said that enters the control cryptosphere in accordance with the requirements of FATF. Following the recent G-20 meeting, it was confirmed that worldwide regulation of cryptocurrencies will be based on the standards of Group of development of financial measures of struggle against money-laundering.
