The European Parliament has approved new commissioners, including those responsible for overseeing crypto regulations. While crypto isn't a primary focus, these commissioners will ensure the implementation of the recently established regulatory framework, known as MiCA. Notably, Stéphane Séjourné from France will handle industrial strategy and may address crypto-related issues. Maria Luís Albuquerque from Portugal will oversee financial services, potentially leading future legislation on digital assets. Henna Virkkunen, also significant, will oversee technology and security. The EU aims for consistency in global crypto regulations. New proposals may emerge regarding decentralized finance and related activities. The commission is expected to report on the landscape of crypto assets, including potential future regulatory needs.
