Crypto Industry News:
According to the latest reports from the EU, all cryptocurrencies can be classified as securities. This inevitably opens the way to their regulation. A new report, commissioned by the European Parliament, proposes an approach similar to that of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In its bold strategy, akin to the SEC's push to classify cryptocurrencies as securities, the new study hints that Europe is following the same path. This report opens the door to future regulation within the EU, which forces cryptocurrencies to comply with authorization requirements.
The anonymity so valuable to cryptocurrency enthusiasts now seems to be a relic of the past, following the recent implementation of the Crypto Asset Markets (MiCA) regulation by the EU. This strict rule affects not only the industry itself, but also traders and buyers. It would drastically reduce the anonymity that has so far been associated with digital assets.
However, the debate on this is far from over. Many members see regulation as the first step in a series of legal constraints. The commissioned study is seen as a cornerstone that will help define the future approach to the treatment of crypto-assets.
What is fascinating is that the recent cryptocurrency winter unexpectedly contributed to this development. Its conclusions may influence future regulations, and the study is like the first shot on the starting line.
