This is how the cryptocurrency registry of the Bank of Spain was achieved
It was at the end of 2021 when the Bank of Spain enabled the mandatory registration for cryptocurrency providers that wanted to offer their services in Spain. The creation of this registry is part of the additional provision of Law 10/2010, of April 28, on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.
The registration of companies in the cryptocurrency operator registry of the Bank of Spain is conditional on the crypto service providers having adequate procedures for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, they must meet the requirements of commercial and professional repute.
