Luxembourg is an accessible financial center in an international frame. With the latest developments in virtual currencies, it has succeeded in making itself a world leader in digital financial services.
The development of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology has also caused various movements in the financial sector of Luxembourg. This developing technology brought new legal regulations with it.
In this article, we have compiled the effects of virtual currencies on the Luxembourg financial area.

They still have to follow FATF rule and other world financial regulations as far as crypto goes.

But this is still welcoming news indeed, but it's no surprise that a first world country like Luxembourg is adopting blockchain as this is a life changing technology. Banks and other sectors are reaping the benefits of blockchain so it make sense for countries to adopt it and then have their own framework for crypto and blockchain as well.

I doubt that Luxembourg really has laws specifically meant for Blockchain and maybe you might misunderstood some things when reading your law. Blockchain not unless it is used for commercial purposes shouldn't be regulated as it stand as it is which is a digital public ledger. I read this article regarding the rules and regulations on cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech but when it comes to the blockchain part of the article they only have given a definition of it and it doesn't specifically mentioned anything about a blockchain kind of law it only described how cryptocurrencies used blockchain in their systems.

Economically, Luxembourg is a very developed country, and the level of GDP per capita is very high. From this article, I understood that Luxembourg is trying to establish regulations for cryptocurrencies in the country to combat the use of cryptocurrencies in terrorism and money laundering. This is a positive thing. Instead of accusing cryptocurrencies of financing terrorism and money laundering, it is better to set laws that regulate cryptocurrencies and prevent their use in terrorism and money laundering as well. Luxembourg did.

It seems I can't see anything very special in your article. AML/CTF laws are already present in countries around the world, although some are probably not yet as comprehensive as others in that they have yet to incorporate certain provisions pertaining to cryptocurrency.

Perhaps the best thing about Luxembourg's version is that it is treating cryptocurrency in a more friendly manner. That's just my own way of interpreting the country's cryptocurrency definition as a currency that could be bought, sold, and transferred or even used as payment or investment. That's indeed a broad acknowledgement of crypto's different uses.

In my thought There are no limitations in Luxembourg on the mining of cryptographic money, given that the creation of such virtual monetary standards/crypto-resources doesn't fall inside the extent of a particular legal authorizing commitment.
Financially, Luxembourg is an exceptionally evolved country, and the degree of GDP per capita is extremely high. From this article, I comprehended that Luxembourg is attempting to build up guidelines for digital currencies in the nation to battle the utilization of digital currencies in psychological oppression and illegal tax avoidance. This is something positive. Rather than blaming digital currencies for financing illegal intimidation and tax evasion, it is smarter to set laws that control cryptographic forms of money and forestall their utilization in psychological oppression and illegal tax avoidance too. Luxembourg did.

The way I read the article or the laws provided by Luxembourg regarding cryptocurrencies I don't see them stepping up on anything but rather just identifying cryptocurrencies and which laws applied to them like how they have applied the necessary AML laws and regulations for the Virtual Asset Service Providers they will have. Luxembourg isn't really known to be a crypto hub or anything that has focused on the crypto industry, they are just preparing for it with their laws if their citizens started to have a demand for it.

I have read about the law that was formed by: Luxembourg, about the law that will be applied to the use of crypto / Bitcoin with the Blockchain system.

I think Luxembourg is getting a positive response about the law that is going to be in shape.

I read it here: Blockchain & Cryptocurrency regulations 2021 / luxembourg, This will explain all the rules that will be enforced by the government of Luxembourg.

Another example of Luxembourg's flexibility. There are smart people in the government of this small country. Regulation and establishment of legal and financial rules is a reasonable decision and very correct. Many countries face an obvious choice now. They can go down the path of prohibition and miss out on a lot of opportunities for the budget and ordinary citizens, or go down the path of permission, legalization and establishing clear rules of the game, trade and taxation. Bravo Luxembourg!
