Christophe De Beukelaer, a Belgian Member of Parliament, has emphasized the importance of Europe taking a leading role in the cryptocurrency industry. He expressed this view in a January 20 post on X, stating that Europe should be at the "forefront of this financial revolution."
"Instead of turning away from the cryptocurrency industry in favor of other major world powers, let us be at the forefront of this financial revolution to guide it with our European values," De Beukelaer said.
According to Cointelegraph, De Beukelaer has been a proponent of integrating cryptocurrency into European financial systems. In January 2022, he became the first European politician to convert his entire salary into Bitcoin. This move was intended to raise awareness about alternative monetary models and promote financial education. Through these initiatives, De Beukelaer aims to position Europe as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector, highlighting the necessity for understanding and active participation in this evolving financial field.
