πŸš€ ESMA Responds To EU Commission's Proposed Amendments To MiCA Regulations

According to Foresight News, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued a document responding to the European Commission's proposed amendments to the regulatory technical standards (RTS) for the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. ESMA acknowledges the legal constraints presented by the Commission but emphasizes the importance of the policy objectives behind the initial proposal.

In its opinion, ESMA notes the proposed revisions to two specific RTS. These revisions detail the information that certain financial entities must include in their notifications of intent to provide crypto-asset services and the information required in the authorization applications for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). ESMA reiterates that the ultimate goal of these RTS is to ensure a thorough entry-point assessment of applicants seeking to become CASPs and financial entities intending to offer crypto-asset services within the EU.

Therefore, ESMA suggests that the Commission consider amending the MiCA regulation (Level 1) to require applicants for CASP status and notifying entities to provide the results of external cybersecurity audits. Additionally, when assessing the good reputation of members of the management bodies of applicant CASPs, the evaluation should include checks beyond commercial law, bankruptcy law, financial services law, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, fraud, or professional liability.

πŸš€ Terra Founder Do Kwon Allegedly Transferred Crypto Assets From Prison

According to Foresight News, Terra founder Do Kwon was arrested in Montenegro on March 23, 2023. However, his electronic devices were not handed over to the investigating judge until June of the same year. Due to the police's failure to promptly seize his cryptocurrency private keys, Kwon was able to successfully transfer digital assets from prison. The transferred cryptocurrencies are believed to include millions of dollars worth of Luna and TerraUSD. Two sources indicated that at least three cryptocurrency transactions were conducted using Kwon's crypto wallet during his detention. These transactions were traced through accounts associated with a mobile phone company in Podgorica.

Sources suggest that Kwon's arrest was premeditated, with Montenegro border forces receiving a tip-off about his forged passport. The Montenegrin Minister of Justice has yet to decide whether Kwon will be extradited to South Korea or the United States.

πŸš€ Ethereum Validators See Significant Growth Amid Institutional Adoption

According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum validators have experienced substantial growth over the past year, reflecting the increasing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. The number of Ethereum validators surged by over 30%, surpassing one million for the first time in June 2024, up from 824,300 in September 2023, as per a research report from Flipside Crypto.

Carlos Mercado, a data scientist at Flipside Crypto, attributed this rise to growing institutional interest driven by developments in the restaking and liquid staking sectors. He explained that liquid staking and restaking have attracted institutions by offering immediate liquidity and enhanced capital efficiency. Restaking protocols allow validators and stakers to restake liquid staking derivative tokens like Lido Staked ETH (STETH) and RocketPool’s rETH to secure and validate other networks. These assets can also be used in other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to earn additional yield.

The total amount of staked Ether (ETH) increased by more than 27% over the past year, surpassing 34.7 million staked ETH for the first time in September. This growth is attributed to the Shanghai upgrade and the approval of the first Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which introduced significant growth periods for staked Ether. The Shanghai upgrade, which occurred in April 2023, enabled network participants to unstake their Ether for the first time since the network transitioned to proof-of-stake (PoS) during the Merge.

Ethereum’s validator growth is part of a broader increase in staking activities across other blockchains, including Polygon’s PoS network. Polygon wallets involved in staking increased by more than 36.4% over the past year, although the number of Polygon-based validators has remained steady since June, partly due to the blockchain’s validator cap. This cross-chain validator growth indicates that participants are not deterred by the potential for reduced staking returns, as noted in the report.
