It's probably illegal for a business to take anonymous cryptocurrency payments in the EU. Businesses are allowed to take traceable payments only, or else it's money laundering.
With the caveat that it's not clear what precisely is illegal about these payments and to what level it's illegal. It might be that a business isn't allowed to have any at all, or isn't allowed to use them for business, or can use them for business but can't exchange them for normal currency, or can do all that but has to check their customer's passport and fill out reams of paperwork.
