Privacy Coin Prohibition

Definition

Privacy Coin Prohibition refers to regulatory actions or legislative measures that ban or severely restrict the use and trading of privacy-enhancing cryptocurrencies. These coins, such as Monero or Zcash, are designed to obscure transaction details, including sender, recipient, and amount. Governments and financial authorities often seek to prohibit them due to concerns about their potential use in money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. Such prohibitions aim to increase transparency in the digital asset ecosystem.
