According to BlockBeats, the European Parliament will elect a new European Commission this autumn, which will shape the European Union's cryptocurrency policy for the next five years. Although the new commission will not take office until November at the earliest, some trends can already be predicted regarding its stance on cryptocurrency regulation.
Firstly, the political shift to the right in Europe may influence discussions on taxation and innovation approaches. France, facing political instability, is expected to encounter more challenges in the future. Secondly, policymakers will compete for influence over innovation policies, with new members possibly focusing on cryptocurrency policies to enhance their personal reputation. Senior policy advisors within the commission may also vie for power. Thirdly, innovation will be a key policy pillar, with digital privacy and artificial intelligence identified as EU policy priorities. The commission is expected to actively implement the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act.
In the market, increased institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies could trigger political intervention, while greater retail investment exposure to cryptocurrencies in the traditional financial sector might also provoke political reactions. The EU has made significant progress in global cryptocurrency policy, and new legislative efforts should ensure the effective implementation of existing rules.#EuropeanParliament #cryptocurrency #regulation #innovation #DigitalMarketsAct #DigitalServicesAct #institutionaladoption #retailinvestment #EUpolicy #cryptopolicy

According to Odaily, the European Union is set to issue a warning to Apple, demanding that the company open its highly secure iPhone operating system to competitors or face substantial fines. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that EU regulators, under the new Digital Markets Act, will announce that Cupertino-based Apple must comply with stringent new rules to make its operating system compatible with other technologies. Although this announcement is just a step away from a formal investigation, the EU aims to compel Apple to redesign its services to allow competitors access to the iPhone operating system. Should Apple fail to comply, the EU may later decide to launch a formal investigation, which could ultimately result in fines of up to 10% of Apple's global annual revenue.#EU #Apple #iPhone #DigitalMarketsAct #fines #competitors #operatingSystem #regulators #compliance
🚀 EU to Impose Fines on Apple and Meta Under Digital Markets Act

According to PANews, the European Union is set to impose minimum fines on Apple and Meta, the owner of Facebook, next week under its Digital Markets Act. The decision aims to prevent escalating tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump. Sources indicate that Apple will be fined and required to amend its App Store regulations. Meta will also face penalties and be instructed to alter its 'pay or agree' model, which forces users to either consent to data tracking or pay for an ad-free experience. Under antitrust laws, companies could face fines up to 10% of their global revenue, potentially resulting in billions of dollars in penalties for both firms. However, three officials have stated that the European Commission's target is significantly lower than this threshold, as the regulations are relatively new and may be challenged in court.#EU #Apple #Meta #DigitalMarketsAct #fines #antitrust #AppStore #data #Facebook #penalties
