 <p>The regulatory landscape for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency in Spain is still green.

 <p>If there is an issue regarding AML topics, the European MiCA regulations should be applied. If a cryptocurrency is defined as a security, it will fall under the jurisdiction of the financial regulator known as the CNMV.</p>
