I have a joke about ether, but it smells

Trying to figure out the EU's new regulatory framework for stablecoins? You won't find a better guide than Peter Kerstens, the European Commission point person for digital policy. And my guest this week on the Fintech Beat podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fin…

Chris Brummer European Commission This was an interesting discussion. We might be able to learn something from the proposed European approach to regulating crypto.

The US dollar infrastructure is the JFK airport of global payments: creaky, slow, a little embarrassing, and in need of multiple upgrades. And yet still central to global commerce.

📢#MiCA is complete! The landmark #crypto regulation sets out uniform 🇪🇺 requirements for offerors of #cryptoassets and service providers (#CASPs) to apply for authorisation in the Single Market. 👀🧵for a full dive on #MiCA and what it means for the #cryptoindustry. 1/22

1/ A few "pet peeves" on language used in DeFi that confuses things & makes the legal / regulatory landscape harder 👇(this is by no means comprehensive & not the only problems, but a few things that come up over & over)

2/ Can we stop using the word "platform"? What's a platform? The protocol + the front end? Just the protocol? IDK. Ppl in CeFi also use this term to refer to their products. "Platform" doesn't have real meaning. If it's DeFi (smart Ks w pre-programmed rules), it's a "protocol".

3/ Let's properly refer to where & how ppl work in DeFi. If you're pd by a company, you work for a dev co. Say that - "I work for X Labs". If you made a proposal & are pd by a DAO, *then* you "do work for a protocol". If you confuse the 2, ur mixing up the decentralization part.

4/ To that end, I heartily recommend (not legal advice!!) that a dev co and a protocol *not* have the same name so that it's easy to distinguish btw the dev co, the protocol, the DAO, a related token, etc.

5/ Also would be great not to use TradFi language for DeFi - hard to say "DeFi is different" if we talk about it in the exact same ways as TradFi tx's. (Even harder to get diff treatment in the legal / reg landscape.) Think 🦆🦆 (as in, DeFi is not)

As for reports that I’m in mix to run U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, I’ve made clear that I’ve already cleaned up earlier Gary Gensler mess CFTC and don’t want to have do it again. DC rumors that I’m interested in some #crypto role Treasury Department are also wrong.
