Legislatures, regulators and other policy makers around the world have their eyes on cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects, and many proposals are moving through the system - some which could add some regulatory clarity and normalization to crypto-assets, some which may impose additional burdens and raise privacy concerns. In this session we’ll discuss the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, the US market structure bill, some new rules coming online in Asia and other laws and regulations around the world.
