Rupert Schaefer, the Director of Policy and Oversight at the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), stated in a blog post published on September 18 that the European Union has made significant progress with its new regulations for Crypto Asset Markets (MiCa), but the global regulatory need for the crypto industry continues.
At What Stage Are the European Union’s Crypto Regulations?
With the wider adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in recent years and their increasing global popularity, many countries’ financial regulatory bodies have started working intensively on regulations. In recent times, there have been several new developments regarding cryptocurrency regulations in many countries.
With the Crypto Asset Markets regulations (MiCa), which are planned to come into effect in 2024, the European Union has achieved an important milestone in crypto regulations. However, a clear regulatory framework for the crypto industry has not yet been established in many countries, especially the United States.
Rupert Schaefer, the Director of Policy and Oversight at BaFin, drew attention to this ongoing regulatory uncertainty in a new blog post. Highlighting the potential risks of cryptocurrencies, Schaefer called for the regulations to be applied to all financial centers globally.
