Europol could have your data without you even knowing. And the newly proposed Europol regulation would mean even fewer restrictions on what they can do with it.

The EU police agency is set to receive unprecedented access to personal data related to current and potential cross-border investigations.

The report also calls for faster attribution and stronger coordination, streamlining cross-border processes and closing gaps in intelligence and regulation to respond effectively to sub-threshold attacks.

Lots of investors are looking at stable coins and salivating at the idea of cross border transfers without bank fees [and regulation] too
