Germany is among the European countries which are pushing for cryptocurrency regulation. In fact, Germany has decided to join France in its plans to regulate bitcoin in the Group of 20 countries.

One of the main reasons why several European governments have been pushing for bitcoin regulation is linked to their concern that the cryptocurrency might be used by criminals for money-laundering or to finance drug trafficking and terrorism.
