PANews reported on December 17th that, according to Cryptopolitan, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) has released new guidelines outlining how it will implement the EU's Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCA) for the country's financial ecosystem. Late Monday, the regulator released a detailed Q&A document covering investor protection, licensing and regulation of cryptocurrency platforms and investment entities. Spain is attempting to join the European digital asset regulatory system under the MiCA framework to harmonize market regulation, consumer protection, and licensing requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).

In its announcement, the CNMV revised two existing Q&A documents: one concerning Institutional Investors (IICs) and Venture Capital Entities (ECRs), and the other covering the application of the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II). Additionally, a new section specifically for MiCAs has been added, alongside the Institutional Investors section, including "Institutional Investors for Liberty" (IICIL). In this section, the regulator clarifies how to set restrictions on periodic redemptions of investment vehicles investing in "evergreen funds." Spain's adoption of MiCAs will allow some retail investors to access cryptocurrencies through liberal investment funds, as the government seeks to expand access to the digital asset market under laws protecting investors. Furthermore, according to the CNMV guidelines, venture capital entities now bear greater transparency obligations. The CNMV announcement indicates that the transition period for MiCA rules will last until July 1, 2026.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
