The EU's MiCA regulation has successfully implemented a consistent framework for centralised crypto platforms but leaves decentralised finance (DeFi) largely unregulated, while the US CLARITY Act aims for broader crypto regulation including DeFi, though it faces a longer legislative process.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a split in crypto regulation regimes where the EU provides immediate clarity for centralised platforms but defers DeFi rules. The US approach will set future standards for decentralised protocols and developer protections that you need to watch closely.
