The European Blockchain Convention (EBC) has announced insights from a panel discussion on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) at its tenth convention, #EBC10. The event featured industry experts discussing MiCA's potential to position the European Union as a global leader in the cryptocurrency sector. This announcement was shared in an October 9 post on X.

The EBC 10 took place on September 25-26 in Barcelona, Spain, as noted on their X profile. Speakers from across the cryptocurrency industry gathered to discuss various topics, including Europe's MiCA regulations and their potential impact. The EBC said that MiCA could position the EU as a "global leader in the crypto space."

Elliptic reported that the EU's new Markets in Crypto-Assets regulations came into effect on June 30 for all stablecoin issuers, marking "a new era of regulatory oversight for innovators in the Crypto space." The regulation requires issuers to obtain approval from relevant state authorities before offering their tokens within the EU or when offering stablecoins pegged to the euro or other member state currencies.
