EU Crypto Exchanges Now Require Proof of Address Ownership Above €1,000

Guavy AI Editorial Team Published August 21, 2026

The European Union's transfer of funds regulation requires crypto exchanges to verify the ownership of self-hosted addresses above €1,000.

This means that when you withdraw cryptocurrency from an exchange to your own wallet, the provider may ask for proof of address ownership.

The regulation applies to both withdrawals and deposits, and the exchange is responsible for verifying the information.

The verification process can take several hours or even minutes, depending on the method chosen by the exchange.
