The European Parliament resolution has 39 points, and only two of them are about crypto
On 8 October, MEPs backed a document on the EU’s first anti-corruption strategy. In the news feed, it sounds alarming. The text itself is more measured.
What’s actually in it:
- The resolution is non-binding; it’s a position, not a law
- They voted by a show of hands, without a roll-call vote
- Crypto is mentioned alongside opaque ownership schemes, encrypted messengers and AI
- The bulk of it is about conflicts of interest, money in politics, protecting journalists and whistleblowers, and recovering assets
See “390 votes in favour” anywhere? That was a July resolution on digital assets: 390 in favour, 86 against, 134 abstentions. It has nothing to do with the October resolution.
No new obligations for exchanges. But it’s clear what they’re looking at: who the real owner is and where the assets ended up.
