Crypto Industry News:

According to reports, the EU intends to introduce new regulations by 2024, thanks to which cross-border payments will be faster and cheaper thanks to the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Moreover, he hopes that they can increase the potential value in this sector by EUR 27-55 billion.

The EU will present a bill clarifying how the existing rules apply to cryptocurrencies and, in addition, laying down new rules in case of gaps, Reuters reports.

The Union also wants to facilitate the exchange of data in the financial sector to encourage competition and a wider range of services, while respecting the principle of "same risk, same rules, same rules".

Brussels also plans to introduce new rules that will enable new clients to quickly start using financial services after the anti-money laundering and identity checks are over.

Meanwhile, a separate report by the European Parliamentary Research Service concluded that a number of legislative proposals could strengthen the digital operational resilience of EU financial sector actors, including their ICT security, by streamlining and updating existing rules and introducing requirements.

"The potential added value in this sector would increase by EUR 55 billion compared to the baseline scenario. A more cautious scenario points to a lower limit for the estimate of the value added increase of EUR 27 billion," the EPRS report reads.
