Well, it should be noted that the law has not been approved. As the same news item says at the end:
The legislation must now be greenlighted by the Council, which gathers top government officials from member states before it can become law.
For me it does not present any novelty, simply a harmonization and a clarification that crypto assets can be confiscated, as far as we are concerned, but I doubt that they could not be confiscated until now because it was not formally reflected in a European law.
In the European Union, bills become laws after long approvals, but I really don’t like this line:
"The EU's restrictive measures apply to a wide range of financial services, including providing "crypto-assets and wallets," the adopted text said. Sanctions can involve freezing assets, including crypto."
This greatly increases the risks for many market participants. I wrote my conspiracy theory that when a wallet contains 10,000 dollars or less, then there is no point in hunting for it unless it is a crime. But as soon as the amount in the wallet increases and the owner transfers the coins to the custodial service, he will see the full power of the sanctions.
