EUROPE CANNOT AFFORD TO STAND IDLY BY: THIS IS A CHALLENGE THAT EUROPE ABSOLUTELY MUST TAKE UP
Christian Miccoli, CEO and Founder of Conio, the Italian fintech founded in 2015 in San Francisco, comments on the shifting regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies following the US approval of the GENIUS Act.
“ The world’ s largest economy has chosen to focus strongly on the sector. We are still at the beginning.
“ It is too early to be able to say how the situation will evolve, but it is inevitable that there will be players who will be able to assume a dominant position, along the lines of giants such as Google and Amazon.
“ Europe cannot afford to stand idly by: this is a challenge that Europe absolutely must take up. The only way to protect ourselves and be competitive against the American giants is to focus on innovation. We are witnessing a revolution that could redefine the financial and banking system.
“ Of course, when it comes to such big innovations, it is impossible to predict the winning solution in advance, the important thing is to have the aim of developing a model that promotes European innovation worldwide.”
