60-second summary
EU lawmakers place crypto at the forefront of anti‑corruption efforts, urging stricter asset‑recovery rules as the European Commission prepares its inaugural anti‑corruption strategy for adoption by year‑end, signaling that regulators will intensify scrutiny of digital‑asset transactions, which could tighten compliance demands, reshape market practices across the crypto industry and may pressure token valuations.
MEPs also called for stronger asset recovery, while the Commission plans to adopt its first anti-corruption strategy by the end of this year.
