PANews reported on September 5th that, according to Decrypt, this week, the UK Treasury released draft proposals for amendments to current anti-money laundering regulations, aimed at filling gaps and addressing evolving risks, including stricter requirements for cryptocurrency businesses. The draft document stated: "This update aims to build a more risk-oriented, proportional, and robust system to resist financial crime, while ensuring that the system is practical for the industry. The government also pledged to improve industry guidance on anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) compliance across a range of issues and to issue separate guidance on the use of digital identity verification for AML/CTF purposes." The new draft proposes a number of changes for cryptocurrency companies. The UK Financial Conduct Authority will implement a broader "fit and proper person" test for company controllers, replacing the current beneficial owner test to ensure that supervision can cover complex ownership structures. Other provisions will reduce the threshold for notification of changes in control from 25% to 10%, consistent with the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) system. This means that any party that acquires 10% or more of the shares or has significant influence must notify the UK Financial Conduct Authority. In addition, the draft also covers revisions to customer due diligence, trust registration, agency bank restrictions, and technical updates such as converting the threshold amount from euros to pounds. The UK Treasury is soliciting feedback on the draft, with the deadline being September 30, after which the regulations will be finalized in early 2026 and submitted to Parliament for review.PANews reported on September 5th that, according to Decrypt, this week, the UK Treasury released draft proposals for amendments to current anti-money laundering regulations, aimed at filling gaps and addressing evolving risks, including stricter requirements for cryptocurrency businesses.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data
The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
