Mögliche Änderungen der “Markets in Crypto-Assets” (MiCA) hatten in den letzten Monaten immer wieder für Unruhe im Krypto-Space gesorgt. So diskutierte man unter anderem in der Europäischen Union etwa über die Möglichkeit, dass ab 2025 keine Dienstleistungen mehr erbracht werden dürften, die auf dem Bitcoin-Konsensmechanismus Proof of Work basierten.
So hieß es in einer Forderung etwa, dass Kryptowährungen in ihren White Papern Informationen dazu bringen müssten, welche Umwelt- und Klimaauswirkungen der jeweilige Konsensmechanismus mit sich bringen würde. Bei Bitcoin ist das allerdings problematisch, da niemand weiß, wer das White Paper geschrieben hat und Satoshi Nakamoto sich vermutlich nicht dazu bewegen lassen würde.
EU schafft mit MiCA einheitliches regulatorisches Rahmenwerk
Die neue MiCA-Regelung hat vor allem zum Ziel, Geldwäsche durch Bitcoin und andere Kryptowährungen zu bekämpfen. Wie man der Pressemitteilung entnehmen kann, liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk hier auf Stablecoin-Anbietern wie dem Herausgeber des höchst umstrittenen Tether (USDT), aber auch USDC. Sie sind fortan verpflichtet, über genügend Reserven verfügen, um großen Anstürmen Stand halten zu können.
Krypto-Firmen sind demnach in der Pflicht, ihren Energie-Verbrauch sowie den Umwelt-Einfluss ihrer Assets auf die Umwelt anzugeben
Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin, die offiziell kein Unternehmen hinter sich haben, sind davon offenbar nicht betroffen. Das befürchtete Proof-of-Work- und Bitcoin-Verbot ist damit vom Tisch
Exchanges sind ab sofort angehalten, Transaktionen von “Unhosted Wallets” ab einer Höhe von 1.000 Euro zu melden

Die jüngsten Entwicklungen in diesem sich rasch entwickelnden Sektor haben die dringende Notwendigkeit einer EU-weiten Regelung bestätigt. MiCA wird die Europäer, die in diese Vermögenswerte investiert haben, besser schützen und den Missbrauch von Krypto-Vermögenswerten verhindern und gleichzeitig innovationsfreundlich sein, um die Attraktivität der EU zu erhalten. Diese wegweisende Verordnung wird dem wilden Westen der Kryptowährungen ein Ende setzen und die Rolle der EU als Standardsetzer für digitale Themen bestätigen.

Der Krypto-Markt wird insgesamt sicherer, was in letzter Konsequenz mehr Menschen dazu bewegen könnte, sich Bitcoin und Co. zu nähern.
Andere Jurisdiktionen, allen voran die USA, dürften vermutlich nachziehen.
Gegenüber BTC-ECHO sagt Robert Kopitsch vom Verband Blockchain for Europe: “Wir sind froh, dass wir bald Rechtssicherheit in Bezug auf wichtige Aspekte im Bereich der Krypto-Assets haben. Es gibt klare Definitionen, versierte CASP-Regeln, eine vernünftige Aufsichtsregelung und einen Umsetzungszeitplan.” Darüber hinaus ermögliche MiCA “das Gedeihen von DeFi, was ebenfalls sehr positiv ist.”

Warum eine Regulierung so notwendig ist...
Hedgefonds haben massiv Tether geshorted
Der größte Stablecoin kam laut Tether-CTO im Zuge der Terra-Krise selbst unter Feuer. Das vermeintliche Ziel: noch mehr Chaos stiften.
Auch Tether sollte seine Bindung an den Dollar verlieren.
“Es schien wirklich von Anfang an ein koordinierter Angriff zu sein, mit einer neuen Welle von FUD, Troll-Armeen, Clowns und so weiter”, behauptet Paolo Ardoino.
Ein Bericht der Wall Street Journal bestätigt seine Anschuldigungen. Dort gibt die Firma Genesis Global Trading zu, dass ihre Klienten den Stablecoin geshortet hätten.
In einem Monat musste Tether 16 Milliarden US-Dollar an Rücknahmen auszahlen, fast 20 Prozent seiner Reserven.

Wie die Wall Street in der Krypto-Krise zuschlägt
Seit 2020 drängen die Großbanken in Krypto. In der Krise wittern sie ein gutes Geschäft!
Das Büffet ist eröffnet: Celsius und BlockFi – zwei große Krypto-Finanzdienstleister – stehen im Zuge des aktuellen Marktcrashs kurz vor der Pleite. Glaubt man aktuellen Medienberichten, wartet die Wall Street schon in den Startlöchern, um in der Krise günstig zuzuschlagen. Für rund zwei Milliarden US-Dollar will Goldman Sachs sich zu Ramschpreisen bei Celsius einkaufen, sollte es zur Insolvenz kommen. Der Hedgefonds Morgan Creek hat für rund 250 Millionen US-Dollar ein Auge auf BlockFi geworfen.
Heute kooperiert Goldman Sachs mit FTX und Coinbase, zwei der größten Kryptobörsen, bietet Bitcoin als Investition und als Teil eines Kredits an. CEO David Solomon präsentiert sich als großer Krypto-Bulle. JPMorgan stellt ein 100-köpfiges Krypto-Team auf, setzt groß auf das Metaverse. Und der größte Vermögensverwalter der Welt, BlackRock, kauft sich für 400 Millionen US-Dollar beim Stablecoin USDC ein, dem direkten Konkurrenten von Tether, herausgegeben von Circle.

Mein persönliches Fazit:
Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen um die Gewinne in der Zukunft zu machen?!

Possible changes to the "Markets in Crypto-Assets" (MiCA) have repeatedly caused unrest in the crypto space in recent months. In the European Union, for example, there was discussion about the possibility that from 2025 services based on the Bitcoin Proof of Work consensus mechanism would no longer be allowed to be provided.
For example, one demand was that cryptocurrencies should provide information in their white papers about the environmental and climate impacts of the respective consensus mechanism. With Bitcoin, however, this is problematic because nobody knows who wrote the white paper and Satoshi Nakamoto would probably not be persuaded to do so.
EU creates uniform regulatory framework with MiCA
The main aim of the new MiCA regulation is to combat money laundering through Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As you can see from the press release, there is a special focus here on stablecoin providers such as the publisher of the highly controversial Tether (USDT), but also USDC. From now on you are obliged to have enough reserves to withstand large onslaughts.
Crypto companies are therefore obliged to state their energy consumption and the environmental impact of their assets on the environment
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which officially have no company behind them, are apparently not affected. The feared Proof-of-Work and Bitcoin ban is thus off the table
Exchanges are now required to report transactions from "Unhosted Wallets" of 1,000 euros or more

MiCA: EU decides on bitcoin regulation
The “Markets in Crypto-Assets” (MiCA) is a done deal. This will give Bitcoin and the crypto market uniform EU-wide regulation.

MiCA – what is it about?
Possible changes to the "Markets in Crypto-Assets" (MiCA) have repeatedly caused unrest in the crypto space in recent months. In the European Union, for example, there were discussions about the possibility that from 2025 services based on the Bitcoin consensus mechanism Proof of Work would no longer be allowed to be provided: Discussions about a Bitcoin ban by the EU arose.
In June there were further discussions about changing the MiCA guidelines. For example, one demand was that cryptocurrencies should provide information in their white papers about the environmental and climate impacts of the respective consensus mechanism. However, this is problematic with Bitcoin, as nobody knows who wrote the white paper and Satoshi Nakamoto would probably not be persuaded to break his long-standing silence due to an EU regulation.
In addition, there was a demand for crypto providers in the EU to be obliged to display information about the environmental and climate impact of the assets prominently on their own platform. A Bitcoin ban due to the MiCA changes was back on the table. The outrage in the crypto community was correspondingly great.

Monetary policy by eye
DJE Kapital AG – Concerns about growth override those about inflation. In this environment, there is increasing hope that the US Federal Reserve will adopt a more moderate monetary policy. In Europe, on the other hand, the turnaround in interest rates is still pending. Monetary policy on autopilot is likely to hurt stock markets, but by eye can be beneficial. More "

With MiCA, the EU creates a uniform regulatory framework
The main aim of the new MiCA regulation is to combat money laundering through Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As you can see from the press release, there is a special focus here on stablecoin providers such as the publisher of the highly controversial Tether (USDT), but also USDC. From now on you are obliged to have enough reserves to withstand large onslaughts.
environmental balance ofTarget crypto companies
But MiCA also addresses the repeatedly mentioned environmental balance of cryptocurrencies. Crypto companies are therefore obliged to state their energy consumption and the environmental impact of their assets on the environment.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which officially have no company behind them, are apparently not affected. The feared Proof-of-Work and Bitcoin ban is thus off the table.
However, non-fungible tokens (NFT) are not included in the new MiCA regulation. The EU Commission wants to decide within the next 18 months whether additional regulations are necessary here.
“Unhosted Wallets”: EU declares war on anonymity
Finally, it should also become much more difficult to carry out anonymous crypto transactions. Exchanges are now required to report transactions from "unhosted wallets" of 1,000 euros or more. These are private transactions, for example from hardware wallets or privately owned hot wallets.
Recent developments in this rapidly evolving sector have confirmed the urgent need for EU-wide regulation. MiCA will better protect Europeans who have invested in these assets and prevent misuse of crypto assets, while being innovation-friendly to keep the EU attractive. This landmark regulation will put an end to the wild west of cryptocurrencies and confirm the EU's role as the standard-setter for digital issues.
