Don't DeFi regulation, it's coming...
The #EU's #cryptoasset law #MiCA aims to protect consumers and #investors and to ensure market integrity. #Compliance will not be without difficulty, especially for those in #DeFi. @CataniaNathan Download now: bit.ly/XReg-MiCA

In case 160+ pages of crypto regulation is a bit too much to digest, our team at @XReg_Consulting have prepared a detailed summary of the proposed Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCA). Enjoy!
We have pored over the new #EU Markets in crypto-assets Regulation, & prepared a detailed summary to help anyone wanting to understand its contents & implications. MiCA will affect everyone & everything in #crypto, especially #DeFi & #stablecoins. DOWNLOAD bit.ly/2Sq5buS

Hot on the heels of the #europeanunion's proposed new #cryptoasset #law, #MiCA, the #UK just banned the sale of #cryptoderivatives to retail consumers. Expect more #crypto #regulation to come, everywhere. lnkd.in/evRexBG

I have absolutely no doubt #MiCA will shape #cryptoasset #regulation around the world. Its scope and impact are wide-ranging in every sense. This summary is essential reading for everyone involved in #cryptoassets.

Thank you for the RT @barrysilbert. If you are keen to understand more about the impact of the proposed MiCA regulation I’d be happy to jump on a call.
NEW: According to a leaked draft proposal, the @EU_Commission may be rolling out an all-encompassing set of regulations covering the trading of digital assets. @IanAllison123 reports trib.al/2GaqO26

There is nothing one can, or would want, to add to this thread. Not without crying. It speaks loudly & powerfully for itself. Thanks for sharing this story @annalapwood

I’ve heard a lot of people say “the deadline for the #FATF #TravelRule is this summer.” But actually that’s not quite true. The change that took place, the inclusion of VAs and VASPs, became effective back in October 2018. I go into more detail here: fintech.tv/travel-rule-crypt…

All countries are effectively in the #FATF regime. It covers 200+ countries around the world. So in fact, the FATF Recommendations are quasi treaty obligations. They're going to apply everywhere on the planet. Thanks for having me FinTech.TV: fintech.tv/travel-rule-crypt…

Speaking on FinTech.TV about the #TravelRule, #Crypto & #Regulatory, @Malcolm_1111 rightly said: "The industry is not sitting on the sidelines trying to avoid regulation, but actually trying to adopt it as required, in a way that makes sense." fintech.tv/travel-rule-crypt…

"If you’re a #VASP, you’re likely to be caught not just by the regime in your home jurisdiction, but potentially by regulatory regimes in other countries where you have customers," says @COINSULT from @XReg_Consulting on global treatment of the #FATF #TravelRule. #ABS2020
