in Article 18, the following paragraphs are added: ‘5. By 30 December 2024, EBA shall issue guidelines on risk variables and risk factors to be taken into account by crypto-asset service providers when entering into business relationships or carrying out transactions in crypto-assets. 6. EBA shall clarify, in particular, how the risk factors listed in Annex III shall be taken into account by crypto-asset service providers including when carrying out transactions with persons and entities which are not covered by this Directive. To that end, EBA shall pay particular attention to products, transactions and technologies that have the potential to facilitate anonymity, such as privacy wallets, mixers or tumblers. Where situations of higher risk are identified, the guidelines referred to in paragraph 5 shall include enhanced due diligence measures that obliged entities shall consider applying to mitigate such risks, including the adoption of appropriate procedures to detect the origin or destination of crypto-assets.’ ;
