Circle CEO: Digital Assets Need New Regulatory Definitions
According to Reuters, Jeremy Allaire, CEO of USDC stable currency issuer Circle, said in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos that major markets such as the United States need new regulatory definitions.
Blockchain technology itself should be considered akin to an operating system, while individual use cases should be regulated individually, Allaire said; the new definition will help make it clearer which regulators are involved in which activities. Additionally, Allaire said that the European Union is leading the way in developing regulations for digital assets, and with the region’s Marketplace in Cryptoassets (MiCA) rules in place.
