EU Lawmakers Push Crypto Into Anti-Corruption Agenda

This signals that EU policymakers are moving to fold crypto into mainstream financial-integrity frameworks rather than treating it as a separate niche. For exchanges, custodians and RWA platforms operating in Europe, the practical effect would likely be tighter traceability and asset-recovery expectations, not a new prohibition. The open question is how the Commission's first anti-corruption strategy defines scope: whether it targets intermediaries and service providers, or reaches further into self-hosted and DeFi activity.
