The Cardano Foundation has urged the European Union to clarify the application of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to DeFi and staking, opposing separate rules for these activities and advocating regulatory responsibilities based on operator control of assets. The foundation also calls for clearer rules on cross-border token ownership and stablecoins as the EU prepares a MiCA review in 2027.
