Odaily News: USDC issuer Circle has submitted recommendations to the European Commission, advocating for revisions to the rules for foreign stablecoins under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and the establishment of a recognition mechanism for foreign issuers.Circle suggests that foreign stablecoin issuers should be primarily regulated by the authorities in their place of registration, and after obtaining equivalence recognition from relevant parties and the European Banking Authority (EBA), EU-licensed local entities would be responsible for distribution. This mechanism would also allow euro stablecoins to circulate in foreign jurisdictions.Circle also requested the removal of the requirement for e-money token issuers to hold 30% of reserve assets in commercial banks; for "significant" e-money tokens, the ratio is 60%. The company argues that this requirement increases exposure to banking credit risk and counterparty risk. (Bitcoin.com News)
欧洲银行管理局（EBA）建议在欧盟《加密资产市场监管》（MiCA）框架内新增对加密借贷服务的监管，涵盖包括提供 DeFi 协议访问权限在内的业务。该机构提议引入用户适用性测试、杠杆限制以及针对 DeFi 协议的认证制度。
Odaily reports: The European Banking Authority (EBA) has stated that the EU should bring crypto asset lending under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, and that the regulatory scope should also cover situations where crypto asset service providers assist clients in accessing decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols.The EBA recommends that the European Commission (EC) conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the relevant legislative changes, and consider adding compliance requirements and supervisory activities for intermediated crypto lending services, while also setting additional requirements for crypto firms that provide access to DeFi lending protocols.Potential measures include user suitability tests, leverage limits, and additional disclosure requirements; the EBA also proposes restricting lending involving asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens that require MiCA authorization, and establishing a certification system for DeFi lending protocols.The EBA noted that crypto lending is already taking place in at least 16 EU member states, and that access to DeFi through crypto firms and AI tools is increasingly blurring the line between centralized and decentralized finance. The recommendations are part of the MiCA review opinion, which also covers stablecoin rules, crypto asset classification, and reporting requirements. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily News: The European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated in a joint risk update that advances in quantum computing could weaken the cryptographic systems that secure blockchain transactions, communications, and database security.In March, Google Quantum AI researchers estimated that the number of physical qubits required to break the cryptographic techniques used by many cryptocurrencies may be about 20 times fewer than previously estimated. A computer capable of carrying out such an attack does not yet exist.In February, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and others proposed phasing out current signature schemes and restricting how unmigrated funds can be used five years after the proposal's activation. The proposal has not yet been adopted. The Ethereum Foundation plans to make Ethereum's execution, consensus, and data layers quantum-resistant by December 2029. (Cointelegraph)
