Pathways to European Policy and Regulation in the Crypto-economy
Iris H‐Y Chiu · European Journal of Risk Regulation · 2019
The EU has yet to develop definitive policies for the crypto-economy, and this article argues that policy development should follow a “systemic” and not “sectoral” approach. This is because the crypto-economy is not merely a financialised space and new productive activity is occurring that would benefit from more holistic policy development than regulation focused on securities and investments. This article proposes that the EU should develop policy for the crypto-economy based more broadly on innovation policy and perhaps feed into the Single Market project.
