EU Parliament Approves World’s Most Sweeping Cryptocurrency Rules
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on Telegram

The European Parliament approved the world’s first comprehensive rules to regulate the “Wild West” world of cryptocurrencies on Thursday, hoping to protect investors against abuse and manipulation.

EU member states have already backed the legislation covering cryptoassets, which include cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum and other tradable tokens whose value is secured using blockchain technology, such as NFTs.

The rules, now approved by a large majority of European lawmakers, hope to whip into shape an industry that has been beset by scandals and failures.
One of the most recent cryptocurrency exchange failures came in November when the FTX platform and its sister trading house Alameda Research went bankrupt, dissolving a virtual trading business that at one point had a market value of $32 billion.

The EU commissioner for financial services, Mairead McGuinness, said during a parliamentary debate on Wednesday that the rules would have regulated FTX’s activities and perhaps prevented its collapse at great cost to some investors.

Under the regulation known as Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA), cryptoasset service providers (CASPs) must protect customers’ digital wallets and will be liable if they lose investors’ cryptoassets.
“We believe that had FTX, for example, been captured under EU jurisdiction, many of its practices would not have been permissible under MiCA,” McGuinness said in Strasbourg.

Large providers will also have to disclose their energy consumption as part of the EU’s efforts to reduce cryptocurrencies’ high carbon footprint.
