V. AML smernica – aplikačné problémy súvisiace s reguláciou virtuálnych mien

Roč.30,č.1(2022)

Abstrakt

Primárny regulačný rámec obchodovania s virtuálnymi menami je upravený v V. AML smernici. Ide zrejme o najproblematickejšiu oblasť boja proti legalizácii príjmov z trestnej činnosti a financovania terorizmu, vzhľadom k hybridnej povahe virtuálnych mien. Nejednotnosť názorov na reguláciu virtuálnych mien badať aj na medzinárodnej úrovni. Viaceré medzinárodné inštitúcie vyčítajú V. AML smernici nedostatočnosť a problematickosť aplikácie definície pojmu virtuálna mena a zoznamu povinných osôb. V tejto súvislosti poskytneme bližšiu analýzu právnej povahy virtuálnej meny a rovnako tak sa pokúsime o priblíženie svojich úvah a postojov k právnej úprave de lege lata a de lege ferenda.
