Farina highlighted that the development is frustrating, noting that the rule was supposed to take effect on December 31. “Despite the ‘Travel Rule’ not taking effect until December 30, Crypto.com refused to credit my funds automatically,” Farina said. He also asked why the requirements were necessary since he carried out the transactions in his home country, noting that it was only mandatory for cross-border transactions.
The crypto personality’s comments are in line with several practices of some centralized exchanges regarding rules and regulations. While some of them carry out enforcement prematurely, others overreach their enforcement.
One instance came when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) first initiated its lawsuit against Ripple and ordered platforms to delist the token. While some waited for users to sell their holdings for other tokens, others delisted the tokens ahead of schedule, leaving users out to dry.
Criticisms and controversies of this nature have trailed centralized exchanges in the broader crypto market. A recent one was Coinbase was criticized by the crypto community for blocking and restricting users’ accounts without prior warnings. Although the exchange reserved the right to carry out such actions without notice, the restrictions targeted most of their earliest users, prompting concerns.
With centralized exchanges conforming to compliance measures set out by regulators, there has been an argument over their actions in relation to those of their decentralized counterparts. Users argue that decentralized exchange activities align with the ethos of what the crypto industry stands for, while others feel it provides the perfect breeding ground for illegal activities.
Crypto.com’s early implementation of the EU’s Travel Rule also shows the increased oversight of regulators in the crypto industry. While the changes are only implemented in the EU, it is only a matter of time before they are implemented worldwide. With the official implementation days away, there will be debates arguing for and against enforcement.
Meanwhile, the United States is set to enjoy a booming crypto industry, thanks to the emergence of Donald Trump as the president in its recent election. After years of struggling with regulatory issues, the crypto market in the United States is set to shine. Analysts already expect the United States to take the lead in the global crypto market, a move that Trump said he wants to facilitate.
