Despite the publication of comprehensive recommendations and guidelines by global standard-setting institutions over recent years, the regulation of cryptoasset markets still differs significantly across jurisdictions. This report surveys the fragmented global landscape of cryptoasset regulation. It describes and compares emerging regulatory practices, sets out possible reasons for their convergence and divergence, and draws early lessons from their implementation.

🚀 The final part of MiCAR becomes applicable today🌐 This landmark regulatory framework is designed to provide clarity, enhance consumer protections, and foster innovation in the crypto and blockchain sectors. As part of the European Commission’s Digital Finance Strategy, MiCAR establishes an EU framework for the regulation of specified activities involving crypto-assets that are not already covered by EU law, namely: ✅Issuance of crypto-assets ✅Custody and administration of crypto-assets ✅Operation of crypto-asset trading platforms and exchanges (to fiat or other crypto).

European Commission’s workshop on asset tokenization in Brussels: A lot of interesting insights were brought to the table by various participants from different areas of the value chain. 🤗 🚀 What are the main take aways? 🤔 💡 Only #tokenizing assets is not the solution. The whole ecosystem needs to be considered from market makers, data providers, taxations to allow also institutional investors issue such products not only as POCs but for a full lifecycle of 10+ years for a bond. 💡The #DLT pilot regime which should booster secondary markets adoption is still facing regulatory issues. Besides this, issuances on a primary market are still key for establishing a secondary market and here the tokenization of #assets needs to grow further. 💡Regulations should be aligned through out Europe, as especially for the Funds industry cross-boarder business in the EU is key. As in Luxemburg or Germany we already have good legislation, a need to bring something like the eWpG or #KryptoFAV on a European level will give the European market an even stronger advantage compared to the US as we already have it now. It was good to see, that the EU commission is really looking for stable regulations and keep the technology that is used open to the market. We at Cashlink see ourselves confirmed that issuing crypto securities under the #eWpG is key to change the market further. Without such assets on chain, there is no need to discuss secondary markets or further integration of intermediaries of the product lifecycle processes. What do you think about it?
