[Spain's New Decree: Mandatory Identity Verification for All Cryptocurrency ATM Transactions] According to a report by CriptoNoticias on October 8, as cited by Jinse Finance, the Spanish government approved Royal Decree 813/2026 on October 8, 2026, tightening anti-money laundering regulations. The official gazette indicates that cryptocurrency ATMs in Spain will no longer allow anonymous transactions, and all transactions will require mandatory identity verification. Previously, certain small-amount transactions at physical terminals did not require comprehensive identity verification. The new text stipulates that 'reliable identity verification is mandatory for all transactions conducted at cryptocurrency ATMs.' Operators will have an 18-month transition period to deploy advanced electronic identity recognition systems.
