‘Regulatory stamp’ aims to incentivise financial innovation
The European Commission is set to propose new EU rules for crypto-asset issuers and service providers, such as blockchain firms, says Reuters. The plans include capital requirements, custody of assets and a complaints procedure. In return firms can apply for a single market access via a crypto ‘passport’. The Commission hopes to encourage greater innovation in Europe, and will also introduce a regulatory ‘sandbox’ to allow for experimentation with new products outside of the existing rules.
