Key points

The regulation aims to harmonize anti-money laundering rules across all EU Member States to ensure a consistent approach.
A Union-wide limit is set for large cash payments at 10,000 EUR to mitigate the risk of anonymous high-value transactions.
The scope of regulated entities is expanded to include professional football clubs and agents due to high financial risks in the sector.
The use of anonymous crypto-asset accounts and anonymity-enhancing coins is prohibited to ensure transaction traceability.
