According to Mars Finance, on May 10, Spain implemented the strictest cash control in Europe: withdrawals exceeding 3000 euros must be declared 24 hours in advance.

The latest royal decree issued by Spain stipulates that starting from 2025:

Withdrawals exceeding 3000 euros must be reported to the tax authorities 24 hours in advance, stating the purpose and the recipient.

Banks have the right to intercept transactions with incomplete materials and report suspicious activities.

The maximum fine for violations can reach up to 150,000 euros (minimum 600 euros).

■ Focus of Controversy:

The government claims it aims to combat financial crime, but it has been criticized for "excessive surveillance."

CEO of Citizen X Company warns: "Approval-based withdrawals equate to deprivation of property rights"

Bitcoin supporters criticize the policy as "totalitarianism"

■ European Trends:

Italy and France have implemented similar restrictions, and the European Union is pushing for cash control across the region. Analysts point out that this move may boost the demand for decentralized assets like Bitcoin.
