Coinbase calls on the public to oppose the EU’s amendments to the 'Transfer of Funds Regulation'
Crypto exchange giant Coinbase is calling on the public to raise their voices against the European Union’s amendment to the “Transfer of Funds Regulation,” calling it a “bad law.”
Coinbase wants public involvement
Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, has written a blog on March 28, that calls on the public to oppose the EU’s revision for funds transfer regulation that if passed, would unleash an entire surveillance regime on exchanges by forcing them to collect, verify, and report information on non-customers with the help of self-hosted wallets.The exchange outlined three major “bad facts,” in the amendments:
- Digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are a primary way criminal hide and move money (researches show that the most popular way to hide illicit financial activity remains cash)
- Law enforcement does not have any means to track these movements (is possible with advanced analytics tools)
- Collecting and verifying personal information associated with self-hosted is not a privacy violation
The exchange stated:
“If you care about protecting the privacy of individuals, and focusing the law on solutions that actually address legitimate concerns about the illicit use of digital assets, now is the time to speak up and be heard.”
Bad or good?
The European Union recently proposed an amendment in the Market in Crypto-Assets or MiCA framework which was eventually rejected by parliament after a vote in opposition. The upcoming “Transfer of Funds Regulation” is also called highly crucial in terms of investors’ privacy violations. Coinbase mentioned a few provisions that are “bad laws.”“For instance, one provision requires exchanges to not only collect personal data about wallet users who are not their customers, but to also verify the data’s accuracy before allowing a transfer to one of their customers.”It went on to give another example of “dangerous provision” that would require exchanges to inform “competent authorities” of every single transfer from a non-customer’s self-hosted wallet with equal to or more than 1,000 EUR.
It would be interesting to see how Parliamentarians react to the amendment and where the law heads to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
