The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) is a new European Union agency. This entity centralizes oversight of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing efforts across the EU, directly supervising high-risk financial entities, including certain cryptocurrency service providers. Its establishment aims to harmonize regulatory enforcement and prevent financial crimes within the digital asset sector.
Context

Its ongoing implementation and the scope of its direct supervisory powers over crypto entities are closely watched for their influence on market structure and operational standards.
