Policymakers in the European Parliament are negotiating changes to the text of an EU anti-money laundering bill to highlight that NFT platforms or other companies providing services related to NFTs are covered by the regulation.
This diverges from the scope of the European Union's standard-setting crypto rulebook, the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, which explicitly left them out.
The MiCA framework, expected to pass a final vote next month, lays down the foundations of crypto regulation across the 27-nation bloc. While lawmakers intentionally exempted NFT platforms from its coverage, operators appear likely to be caught up in obligations under the proposed AML rules.
