In today's episode, we're talking about the state of crypto regulation across the pond. Is it as bad over there as it is here in the United States?

There is a landmark crypto bill over in the EU called MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) and its worth paying attention to!

We brought on some EU regulation experts, Rebecca Rettig, Chief Policy Officer @ Polygon Labs, Seth Hertlein, VP, Global Head of Policy @ Ledger, and Patrick Hansen Director of EU Strategy and Policy @ Circle.
