Wu has learned that the German Federal Ministry of Finance has proposed a draft anti-money laundering bill, which would include cryptocurrency accounts in the existing automated account inquiry system. The bill would require cryptocurrency service providers to provide information such as account holder identity, account identifiers, and opening and closing dates, with these records retained for 10 years after account closure. The draft also proposes authorizing the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to require exchanges and other institutions to conduct targeted monitoring of designated accounts suspected of money laundering, related crimes, or significant terrorist financing risks, and to report the results. The draft was published on October 28, with a public comment period ending on November 19, and is scheduled to be implemented on July 10, 2027. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/germany-adds-crypto-accounts-to-aml-checks-draft-consultation-nov-19-71722
