Recital 20

Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2033 of 23 October 2025 amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine · European Union

(20) The use of certain crypto-assets can pose a significant risk of circumventing the prohibitions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 and Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (6), in particular transaction bans and asset freezes. A prohibition on transactions involving those crypto-assets is a necessary measure to prevent that outcome, while also allowing for a limited period of time to enable the orderly termination of existing contracts.
