United Kingdom, quite the opposite A proposal approved by the European Union in MarchSenders of crypto assets will not be required to collect information about recipients using non-hosted wallet addresses.

“Instead of requiring the collection of beneficiary and originator information for all non-hosted wallet transfers, crypto asset businesses will be expected to collect this information only for transactions identified as having a high risk of illicit finance. ,” according to a document Published by Treasury.
