While the European Union and the United Kingdom are advancing with cautious cryptographic frameworks, the United States suddenly emerge as the leading in the world policy of digital assets thanks to a blitz of legislation, political momentum and massive FNB beaches.
In the latest episode of Insight Insight The size of the bytes, the chief of the Podcasts of Cointelegraph of the Podcasts Savannah Fortist is joined by Mark Jennings, responsible for Europe in Gemini, to break the way in which the United States, the EU and the United Kingdom tackle cryptographic regulations and what it means for innovation, adoption and investment West.
The American and European advantage
“We saw the administration push the legislation very quickly because it arrived this year,” said Jennings. “It has become a subject of conversation during the presidential election, and I think it highlights the importance of crypto in the world, that it becomes a subject of discussion at this level.”
“(A) positive move that the administration made by providing legislation very quickly. It allows companies to develop, to evolve, to innovate because they have the capacity to allocate capital and to understand what this investment will look like. ”
The United States still has a path to go before obtaining significant invoices in stone. In addition, it can also face regulatory fragmentation at the state level, similar to the situation in Europe, where 30 national regulators are now responsible for implementing EU mica regulations.
Mica, adopted in 2023, is widely considered as the regulatory framework for the most complete cryptography in the world. “Where we arrive with mica, it has built a complete infrastructure that considers cryptocurrency like another asset class,” said Jennings.
“This allows us to function once we have received the license in each European jurisdiction … and it allows us to evolve properly.”

The Crypto of the United Kingdom
Meanwhile, the post-Brexit approach to the United Kingdom is lagging behind. Although it has recently raised the ban on ETN Crypto, a full regulatory framework remains a work in progress. Jennings said the country took a more deliberate route.
“I think the United Kingdom has adopted an expected approach,” he said.
“They want to understand how this framework takes place … They can benefit from this second advantage of mover to see what is happening with mica, what is happening with American legislation and take the best parts of the two.”
However, Jennings warns that innovation evolves quickly and that regulators must keep pace. “Sometimes you have to wait and see … But also to see what is happening in other jurisdictions and perhaps being somewhat reactive and somewhat proactive,” he said.
“For me, it is a more measured approach and focuses on the advantages of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, rather than potentially stifling innovation.”
