Spain to expose every crypto transaction: Will 2026 see the end of privacy?
In its latest regulatory push, Spain is finally shifting from a free-for-all crypto landscape to a fully structured, highly supervised financial regime.
By mid-year 2026, the EU’s MiCA framework will be fully in place.
The National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), already overseeing more than 60 players, including BBVA and Cecabank, will formally bring digital assets under institutional oversight.
This move will result in compliance no longer being optional, but the minimum requirement for operating in the country’s crypto market.
Notably, the government’s decision to extend the transition period until 1st July 2026 gives registered firms a final window to adapt.
But it’s not a soft landing.
Any company that fails…
