Don't DeFi regulation, it's coming...

[Nathan Catania @CataniaNathan]

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!

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

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.

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

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.

[XReg_Consulting @XReg_Consulting]

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.

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

@CoinDesk @EU_Commission @IanAllison123 Clearly, #MiCA is targeting #stablecoins and particularly global stablecoins. It will also present significant challenges for #DeFi. Wednesday 23 September at 1500 CET, @XReg_Consulting will provide an overview of the new EU cryptoasset law. Register here: https://t.co/JnuyWuCbnx

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

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.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

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.

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

THREAD: I've just had the most extraordinary morning. I was waiting to get on the train to work & an elderly man asked me if the train was going to Cambridge. I said it was, & we got chatting - his name is JJ.

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:

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

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.

Living where it’s law to wear a mask in all public settings but where majority of people flout the rules, I was particularly interested to read this article by Prof James Honeycutt on what makes folks callously endanger others

Speaking on https://t.co/wtbXl9lNBo 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." https://t.co/nQGYMYzNxJ

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

@UPS 8 consignments in 6 weeks: 100% failure to deliver without min 3 calls chasing. Tracking site lies. CS staff lie. Supervisor promise to deliver today “WITHOUT FAIL”. Today came & went without delivery, no return calls, no email replies. Shame on you!

"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

[Siân Jones @COINSULT]

Tomorrow at @aba_summit I'm discussing the #FATF #TravelRule requirements with @AmyDavineKim @DigitalChamber, David Carlisle @elliptic, @ElsaMadrolle @coolbitx & @nathan_kaiser @cardano. See our panel on Sunday at 11:45am GMT+8. Register here:
