What did the outlet’s interlocutors reveal? According to the sources, France, which currently holds the EU presidency, and the European Parliament are optimistic about resolving the remaining issues preventing the adoption of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) package. The next meetings of the negotiators are expected to take place on June 14 and 30.
According to sources, the parliament is pushing for the legislation to take into account the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining. Discussions are also underway to include anti-money laundering (AML) provisions in the MiCA package. National governments believe there should be a separate set of rules for this.
