🇫🇷🇩🇪 Great to see Merz, Macron & the Franco-German Council of Ministers include crypto in their joint economic agenda unveiled a few days ago, promising “new momentum” for Europe. Alongside ~20 flagship projects (energy, trade, industry, advanced tech, competitiveness, single market), the new Franco-German economic agenda also commits to: • developing a vital European crypto market • promoting the competitiveness of European CASPs • pursuing comprehensive equivalence and reciprocity with third countries The Franco-German axis can set priorities in the EU - so this a big signal for Europe’s crypto industry. It underlines the industry’s importance in the future of finance, the need for stronger European competitiveness, and the commitment to international regulatory collaboration for inherently global assets like crypto-assets and stablecoins.(Patrick Hansen)
