EU Risks Becoming Crypto ‘Flyover Zone’ Between US, Asia: Franklin Templeton

The EU risks to become a “overturned zone” for cryptocurrencies because the pace of legislation is lagging behind the US and Asia, said the CEO of Franklin Templeton Property Management Company.

Speaking at the Digiassets 2025 conference, the international legal leadership of a digital project, Catrioni Kellas, claimed that, although Europe is in a “strong place”, there are concerns that it could “become a glare zone between the USA -a Asia”.

She praised the “energy coming from the United States”, which in Europe provides an increase in energy.

“There is a real risk with this technology that the jurisdictions that may have been on the forehead are a few years ago – it is so easy to lagging behind if it takes a long time to go through your legislative procedure,” she said, pointing to “other jurisdictions” with more flexible approaches to the cryptocurrency sector.

The European Commission seems to notice, she said, remembering a recent conversation in which “they said a word that he had never heard of saying before, which was” competition. “

“Definitely ask the right questions,” Kellas said, adding that around “Mica 2” there is “more than a whisper”, update on Markets in crypto property The legislation that came into force in June 2023. “It definitely comes potentially,” she added, to some extent to protect her bets.

Kellas also marked DLT EU or distributed technology of the pilot regime book. The intention is to give crypts to the companies with a sandy box where they will work while regulators watch how things take place. This is only a year in force, but officials are “trying to rebuild and ensure that it is appropriate for a purpose.”

Mica 2 come?

In the midst of “healthy energy that will start leaving Europe,” Kaye suggested that the concern would be more restrictively “may be more restrictive” may be reduced, because we see some Europe look at what is happening in the USA -what’s going on in APAC. “

The crypto industry does not sit around; Only this week, the reports revealed that the Coinbase cryptocurrencies and the twins Operational License Fishing In Luxembourg and Malta, which would allow them to act in 27 EU Member States.

Some EU regulators have reportedly caused concern about the fast pace “Passport” Approved in some jurisdictions, which prevent EU countries from blocking the CRIPTO-IMOVINE providers, or Casps, after having permission to work in one country.

As the global adoption of digital assets becomes more rooted, Kaye predicted a “institutional change in attitude” among regulators and legislators around the world. “It’s quite hard to get it back in the box and get back to a more risk approach,” she said.

Looking at the regulatory implementation, she added: “We are thinking about this soft regulatory approach, which you know can be as challenging to decide to manage management as it is written on the page.”

Moreover, Kaye suggested, “What we really see is that regulators cause their governments, and their leaders have challenged to make this change, not just that they just think within which they were always presented to them.”
