On fait le point sur MiCA et TFR\" class=\"ek-link\">How does Europe want to regulate cryptocurrencies?<\/a> I advise you to read this article to understand how the regulation of crypto-assets is progressing in Europe. These regulations will be decisive for the place Europeans will hold in the crypto industry. We must above all avoid making the same mistake as we did with the Internet in the 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00abEurope must not miss out on this revolution by proposing an overly strict regulatory framework that would push companies to leave the territory to develop elsewhere.\u00bb<\/em>, CEO of Ledger,&nbsp;<strong>Pascal Gauthier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) law, which will enter into force in 2023-24, has been approved. The non-integration of DeFi and NFTs into this regulation remains a victory for the crypto ecosystem. It is indeed difficult to regulate decentralized entities and extremely different use cases. However, there will likely be a MiCA version 2 in the coming years that will seek to integrate these two points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">However, certain points remain unsuitable: crypto-asset service providers will therefore<strong>&nbsp;communicate all information on transactions made through them to another exchange platform<\/strong>. They will also have to communicate the information on the transactions carried out&nbsp;<strong>to and from private wallets<\/strong>&nbsp;(non-custodial), like MetaMask or hardware wallets such as Ledger, as soon as the latter exceed \u20ac1,000. On the other hand, <strong>Transactions between private wallets will not be affected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This is a scenario that raises questions about the middle ground between regulation aimed at&nbsp;<strong>protecting the cryptocurrency holder and their own sovereignty<\/strong>, or regarding the disclosure of strategic flows. This can indeed raise the issue of <strong>respect for privacy<\/strong> or even <strong>the difficulty in establishing such rules.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/Ethereum (ETH) : selon un nouveau calendrier, The Merge est attendue pour le 19 septembre\" class=\"ek-link\">Ethereum (ETH): according to a new schedule, The Merge is expected for September 19.<\/a> Good news for those eagerly awaiting The Merge.

These pooled their customers' money by offering unsustainable returns while taking on high risks and leverage (such as Celsius, BlockFi, and Voyager Digital). I would like to point out that, conversely, the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry performed very well during liquidation periods, and these platforms did not go bankrupt because they are entirely transparent. Their risk-taking is low and responsible, and they cannot hide their losses, restructure them, or suspend withdrawals the way centralized platforms do. <br>This episode has proven to us that DeFi is functional and solves many problems, unlike CeFi, which has never managed to solve them for decades. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lepoint.fr\/economie\/le-week-end-lehman-ou-la-plus-grosse-faillite-bancaire-de-l-histoire-americaine-02-09-2018-2247678_28.php#:~:text=Le%20lundi%2015%20septembre%202008,faillite%20de%20l'histoire%20am%C3%A9ricaine.\" class=\"ek-link\">the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers<\/a> : <em>On Monday, September 15, 2008, at 1:45 AM,&nbsp;<strong>Lehman Brothers<\/strong>&nbsp;filed for bankruptcy, taking the world by surprise.

Contrary to popular belief, the euro is not stable at all... If you had 100,000 \u20ac in May 2021, it is now worth only 80,000 \u20ac in terms of purchasing power.
