2 Weeks Before MiCA Goes Live

source

It will be interesting to see what type of impact the EU Crypto regulations that go live in 15 days time have on crypto. Markets in Crypto-Assets Act or MiCA for short is the regulatory name and is set for July 1st. Will it though as the make up of the EU Parliament has changed with many of the left being voted out and what was voted in as regulation could in theory now be voted out and redone. Will some countries leave the EU and reclaim back control that they relinquished handing it over to the EU?

As we know Binance is being baby sat and has already agreed that certain stable coins will not be available for registered EU users. This we will have to wait and see but any algorithmic coin is deemed illegal for now. The stablecoin ruling is that this has to be backed by securities either a currency like USD or gold..

We knew stablecoins were seen as a threat by the institutions and here we will see them split into two distinct classes. One that meets regulatory requirements and the unauthorized stable coins which will find themselves having further restrictions imposed. This is all about CBD's and digital currencies like the EU that they would like to implement without any competition. This is how the banks and other institutions become more and more relevant by controlling this sector that they have been fighting for so long.

Binance has agreed to phase in MiCA's plan through restriction of use and removal of unauthorised stable coins that are not meeting the regulators requirements.

The good news for crypto in general is that with the EU parliament having a shake up with the recent elections we should see some changes. There is already some updates that were being pushed through and hopefully these are placed on hold.

We know the left had their agendas and they were never pro crypto and with the media calling the far right when they are more like center right now in charge things should be in crypto's favor for once.

This is not saying everyone is pro crypto but, the good thing is they are anti the pro digital Euro and why the stable coin regulations should be looked at again. Will MiCA go live in 2 weeks time because this could easily be placed on hold for some amendments. The parties that were anti crypto and were all about delaying it's adoption at all costs have lost many seats and their influence has been severely weakened.

I must admit I am slightly nervous when I read reports that state Binance is towing the line when it comes to regulators requests and ca see the likes of HIVE being cast aside for being decentralized and not having CEO or leadership in charge. The change in personnel in the EU Parliament could not have happened soon enough besides all the other problems in Europe crypto at least has a better chance.

Yes I saw Binance statement they sent around about stable coins having to MiCa-register in order to stay legal in the EU. As far as I know it is not clear yet which stable coins will get approved, pretty sure USDT and USDC will stay onboard though. What do you think? Is there any news yet?

But what seems clear: HBD will be illegal in the EU being backed neither by real Dollar nor Gold. We‘ll see what that means for the future of all the European Hivers… 🤷🏼‍♂️

HBD is not a real stable coin. Not even close in the eyes of EU regulation. HBD is pegged to the dollar but only notionally as in it will get you a dollars value of hive but it has exceptions even there so it should remain unaffected

What makes you so sure? It’s called (Hive backed) Dollar and it’s value is pegged to the US Dollar which makes it a Dollar stable coin in my view. Or am I missing anything?

It's not available on external exchanges since bittrex went under so it's an in system coin and the pegging is not absolute. There are mechanisms in place to cease the peg should certain debt ratios become too high. So I don't think it quite satisfies the criteria

Yeah it will remain „under the radar“ since it is nowhere listed. That’s true.

I think the obvious ones will be ok and all the others may be removed off Binance because this is a opportunity for those in power to get their way I suppose. HBD is more of an internal coin anyways and think as time goes on it will remain just that. The idea of using HBD in the real world as a source of payment is fine for now, but this will be clamped down and deemed illegal once regulation is live world wide.

Yes this is kind of the direction I am thinking/expecting it too. 👍🏻

It seems to me like stablecoins face a split between authorized and unauthorized types. The impact on crypto communities could be significant, let's see what happens then 🤔🤔🤔
