The rules were approved at an EU finance minister meeting on May 16, CNBC reports.
Crypto regulation has been at the forefront of discussion since the collapse of FTX.
Recent events have confirmed the
urgent need for imposing rules which will better protect Europeans who have invested in these assets, and prevent the misuse of crypto industry for the purposes of money
laundering and financing of terrorism, Elisabeth Svantesson, finance minister for Sweden, via statement.
Now, any firm within the 27-country bloc
that wants "to issue, trade and safeguard" cryptocurrency must obtain a license, CNBC reports.
The new rules have undoubtedly put pressure on Britain, the U.S. and other countries to approve similar regulations, CNBC reports.
Britain has suggested a phased approach beginning with stablecoins and branching out to unbacked crypto assets, but the country hasn't established a timetable. .
The U.S. has been using existing securities rules and is still deciding if new rules are needed and who would enforce them.
