Spain has approved Royal Decree 813/2026 on Oct. 8, 2026, tightening anti-money laundering rules for crypto ATM activity in the country. Under the new measure, every transaction carried out through cryptocurrency ATMs in Spain will require reliable identity verification. The change removes the earlier treatment under which some low-value transactions at physical terminals did not need full identity checks. Operators will be given an 18-month transition period to roll out advanced electronic identification systems. The update was reported by ChainCatcher and centers on compliance requirements for crypto ATM operators operating in Spain.
