"SDX supports the institutionalization of the crypto market, and we believe this will happen in Europe through MiCA. Operating within a regulated environment aligns with our goals of market integrity, transparency and consumer protection. MiCA’s harmonized framework will accelerate the transition to a more regulated market, fostering collaboration with partners across jurisdictions. With the introduction of MiCA, Swiss providers face new regulatory challenges due to the lack of third-country equivalence. Being regulated in Switzerland does not grant market access to the EU, in principle requiring Swiss providers to establish a local legal entity and obtain the corresponding licenses in the EU. Overall, MiCA is indeed, a significant steppingstone towards a more integrated and trusted crypto market in the EU, aligning with SDX’s commitment to contribute to a more robust and institutional market space." Björn Flückiger, Head Legal at SDX. #SDX #digitalassets #MiCA #blockchain #financialservices

"A wCBDC provides several critical advantages. It offers a high level of trust and security, as it is issued and guaranteed by central banks, making it free from credit risk and instability associated with privately issued stablecoins or volatile cryptocurrencies. Additionally, it enables safer and more efficient settlement of transactions by integrating tokenized assets and money on a single platform," said Mathias Studach in a recent Crowdfund Insider interview. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dSpWd-kt #SDX #wCBDC #digitalassets #blockchain
