Ireland’s Government Proposes Crypto Safeguards in Response to Risks

  • Ireland's government has released a new risk assessment on digital assets, highlighting significant risks related to money laundering, terrorism financing, and sanctions evasion.
  • The assessment notes that crypto is increasingly used by criminal groups and for bribing officials, and points to inconsistent international regulation as a vulnerability.
  • In response, Ireland plans to implement industry standards for crypto-related activities by the second half of 2027, aiming to address these risks and enhance compliance.
