Ireland is moving swiftly to draft urgent cryptocurrency regulations ahead of the European Union's new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, which are set to take effect on December 30, 2024. Finance Minister Jack Chambers has emphasized the need for timely legislation to ensure Ireland's compliance with the impending EU rules. The new regulations aim to tighten oversight on crypto exchanges and enhance the country's cybersecurity framework. This legislative push aligns with broader efforts across the EU to bolster cybersecurity and financial integrity. Additionally, Irish businesses need to be aware of the new cybersecurity rules under the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
