2024-04-07 10:11:54 MiCA Interpretation Threatens to Limit DeFi for Regular Users

The European Union’s (EU) regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a significant shift, potentially impacting everyday users’ access to decentralized finance (DeFi). Rune Christensen, co-founder of the MakerDAO project, a prominent DeFi protocol, has raised concerns about a strict interpretation of the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. Christensen suggests that under a specific interpretation of MiCA, DeFi frontends, user interfaces that make interacting with DeFi protocols easier, might require licenses to operate within the EU. This, he argues, could have a crippling effect on DeFi adoption in the region.

While validators securing the network traditionally earned base rewards on locked-up ETH, the introduction of liquid staked tokens (LSTs) paved the way for participants to engage with DeFi by trading or leveraging their staked assets.
