Money — and now crypto — must travel with its paperwork. The recast Transfer of Funds Regulation extends the classic wire-transfer information duties to crypto-asset transfers, ending the anonymity gap between the two.
The requirements, article by article
Information travelling with funds
Transfers of funds must carry verified originator information and beneficiary information, complete and in the required format.

Verify before crediting
The beneficiary-side provider must implement procedures to detect missing or incomplete information before making funds available.

Extra care above EUR 1,000
Transfers involving self-hosted addresses above EUR 1,000 require verification of ownership or control by the customer.
