At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @Haider (CMO of @okx ) sat down with Peter Kerstens (Adviser at @EU_Commission Commission) to discuss the implementation of Europe’s digital asset framework. The conversation highlighted how MiCA is successfully transitioning the industry from a "Wild West" environment to a mature, regulated landscape. With over 180 licensed entities now operating, the framework provides the legal certainty needed to bring crypto activity into the "regulatory sunlight". Kerstens and Rafique agreed that tokenization and distributed ledger technology are set to become the new operating system for global financial markets, effectively eliminating the friction points of legacy systems. While MiCA serves as a global blueprint, the discussion turned to the inevitability of "MiCA 2.0" as policymakers look to evolve rules in tandem with market maturity and innovation. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.
