ECB Vice President: Crypto Should Follow Same Laws as Other Assets
Luis De Guindos, current Vice President of the ECB, stated he thinks crypto-assets should be regulated as any other asset in the market. De Guindos expressed his opinion during a series of summer courses sponsored by the European Parliament and the European Union. Specifically, on cryptocurrencies, he stated:
I would not prohibit them, but issuers must be required to follow the same conditions as those of other financial assets and avoid everything that has to do with money laundering or terrorist financing.
To De Guindos, cryptocurrencies can be easily used for unlawful purpose
