Conference summary

Topic: What to expect from regulators?

What to expect from regulators in the future is an harmonized regulation, particularly at the European level, allowing digital asset service providers to benefit from the European passport and a more protective regulation for investors, in particular retail investors.

What industry professionals are entitled to expect from regulators is a balanced and proportionate regulation that should not be punitive and which would not restrain initiatives, particularly at EU level, and that allows for the development of a mature ecosystem that is competitive with the rest of the world and that regulates and supervises when necessary, without excess or prejudice.

1. Which industry do you think will be next new being regulated by EU, after MICA (Markets in Crypto-assets)? Why?
2. For a new start up building the business model based on blockchain technology, but not running on financing area (for example cryptocurrency), what’s your advise for the start up to run the business?
3. From law and regulation perspective, how would you recommend industrial leaders to prepare themselves from now, in facing blockchain future?
