Financial authorities in Serbia are strengthening government oversight over the trading of major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins in the country.

The regulators in Belgrade now seek to implement a mechanism that will allow them to immediately flag suspicious transactions and identify wallet owners.

Serbian government to amplify crypto supervision

Serbia’s financial intelligence body has announced a public tender for a system that can scan cryptocurrency trade, local business media reported.

According to the procurement’s technical specifications, the new platform should allow authorities to continuously monitor transfers on major blockchains.

It is also expected to be able to recognize transactions related to Serbian residents and automatically notify government analysts about any suspicious movement of funds.

The official documentation, published by the Serbian Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering (APML), also requires:

The system should be capable of monitoring transactions with 10 leading stablecoins and cryptocurrencies by trading volume, eKapija and BiznisKurir revealed this week.

The list approved by the agency includes Tether (USDT), Circle’s USDC, First Digital USD (FDUSD), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB, Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, and Sui (SUI).

The tender expires on November 10, 2025, the economic news outlets noted in their reports.

Cryptocurrency trading is legal in Serbia

The APML, which is part of the administration of the Serbian Ministry of Finance, acts as the Balkan country’s financial intelligence unit.

Its responsibilities include collecting, analyzing, and disseminating financial information to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

It gathers reports of suspicious transactions from various obliged entities, including banking institutions, insurance companies and accounting firms. The watchdog’s activities are mainly governed by the Republic of Serbia’s Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism.

The popularity of cryptocurrencies has been growing among Serbs over the past years, and crypto investing is legal in the Southeast European nation, which took steps to place its crypto space in order well ahead of many others in the region and across the Old Continent.

The market was regulated with the Law on Digital Assets, which was adopted in 2020 and went into force in mid-2021. The legislation covers activities like coin trading and mining. It defines digital assets and divides them into two main categories – virtual currencies and digital tokens.

The National Bank of Serbia (NBS) and the Securities Commission (SC) were granted powers to oversee the industry built around them. Service providers, such as cryptocurrency exchanges, need to obtain a license from the NBS to operate and meet minimum capital requirements.

The Tax Administration of the Republic of Serbia, which is also subordinated to the finance ministry, is the body that collects taxes on crypto-related income and profits. The latter are considered capital gains in the country and taxed at a 15% rate.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…

Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation.

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
