听听President. 鈥� The next item is the Commission statement on 'Cryptocurrencies 鈥� need for global standards' ().

听听Magnus Brunner, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, first of all, sorry I'm a couple of minutes late 鈥� I was in the office, actually, but I didn't make it here on time, I'm sorry about that. Also, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this debate on the need to agree on global policy standards for crypto. As you may well know, these standards, of course, do exist and have been agreed in international fora. Let me give you a brief overview of how they came about and where the EU stands in their implementation.

International regulatory and policy organisations have been working on international crypto standards for a number of years now. Early on, there was an international understanding that crypto markets are global markets and are largely unregulated and pose, of course, also risks that need to be addressed. And then in 2023 the G20 unveiled the crypto-asset policy implementation roadmap, which reflected the policy and regulatory responses developed primarily by the International Monetary Fund, the Financial Stability Board and standard-setting bodies covering specific areas of finance such as the International Organization of Securities Commissions on investor protection, or also the Financial Action Task Force on anti-money laundering.

The core of these international standards on crypto are the FSB recommendations on crypto-asset markets and activities, and recommendations for global stablecoin arrangements. The European Union is the first major jurisdiction to have reflected those standards in law. We have done this by adopting the Regulation on markets in crypto-assets (MiCA), which has now started to apply, and we have also amended other legislation such as the Anti-Money Laundering Directive and also the Transfer of Funds Regulation.

We are strongly committed to ensuring the global implementation of international standards. We regularly advocate this in the relevant international fora in which we as a European Union participate.

Implementation of international standards of course is necessary, not only to ensure a minimum level of policy and regulatory convergence internationally, but also to ensure that jurisdictions follow a sensible common denominator in addressing the risks also posed by the crypto markets. This is particularly important in crypto markets, which are global in nature, of course 鈥� yes, everyone knows that, with crypto exchanges and platforms operating across borders and assets also moving on open networks that are widely accessible.

The adoption of international crypto standards has so far been incremental. Indeed, jurisdictions have made progress also in implementing the policy and also the regulatory responses developed by, as I said, the IMF, the FSB and the standard鈥憇etting bodies. Almost all FSB jurisdictions have plans to develop new 鈥� or at least revise existing 鈥� regulatory frameworks for crypto.

Information gathered at the international level suggests that the majority of FSB member jurisdictions expect to achieve alignment with the FSB framework by this year, by 2025. And this is of course very good news. We will continue to support relevant international organisations to ensure that the momentum we have now in implementing international standards on crypto is maintained. And we stand, of course, ready to work with jurisdictions that wish to benefit from our experience with MiCA. This includes the US. The US has been heavily involved in defining, together with other partners, the international standards on crypto, and I'm convinced that the new administration is fully aware of the fact that a robust policy response to crypto requires also an international effort.

We therefore look forward, of course, to continuing working with the US authorities as they consider their policy approach to crypto assets and related service providers, and we would view it as a positive development if the US were to make progress on crypto鈥憇pecific legislation that would provide greater legal clarity on the treatment of crypto assets and related service providers, while at the same time also addressing the risks we are facing. And we believe existing international standards should form the basis of any crypto framework, including, of course, the one in the US, not least because they ensure international convergence in this area and contribute to a level playing field.

Our experience in the European Union has shown that ensuring legal clarity is the right way to support innovation in these markets, while mitigating, on the other hand, of course, also the risks we are facing. Developments in the crypto market since the adoption of MiCA have only strengthened the case for legal clarity. Whatever approach the US ultimately takes, we do hope it will ensure that innovation flourishes while allowing, of course, on the other hand, also bad actors to be weeded out.

听听Markus Ferber, im Namen der PPE-Fraktion. 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, Herr Kommissar, liebe Kolleginnen, liebe Kollegen! Diverse Kryptow盲hrungen, allen voran Bitcoin, haben in den vergangenen Tagen Rekordkurse erklommen. Der Grund ist klar: Die neue Administration in den Vereinigten Staaten ist diese Woche ins Amt gekommen, und sie wird sehr viel kryptofreundlicher sein als die Vorg盲ngerverwaltung. Der neue US-Pr盲sident spricht gar davon, eine strategische Bitcoin-Reserve aufzubauen und die USA zum Krypto-Mekka der Welt machen zu wollen. Dass Donald Trump es wohl ernst meint, sieht man auch daran, dass er selbst einen eigenen Meme Coin aufgelegt hat, der wohl nur ein Ziel hat: seinen Reichtum noch etwas zu vergr枚脽ern. Ich glaube, die Anleger werden nichts davon haben.

Unabh盲ngig davon, wie man zu Kryptow盲hrungen steht, unterstreicht diese Entwicklung ein grunds盲tzliches Problem: Obwohl Kryptow盲hrungen ein globales Ph盲nomen sind, haben wir keinen internationalen Ordnungsrahmen. Ein Regierungswechsel in den USA f眉hrt deshalb sehr schnell dazu, dass sich die Marktlage rapide ver盲ndert und da auch der Verbraucherschutz, auch f眉r europ盲ische Anleger, massiv unter die R盲der kommt. In anderen Teilen des Finanzmarkts, vom Bankensektor bis zum Clearing, haben wir uns aus guten Gr眉nden auf internationale Standards verst盲ndigt. Die haben wir im Kryptosektor bisher nicht, und das r盲cht sich jetzt auch.

In der Europ盲ischen Union sind wir mit der Verordnung 眉ber M盲rkte f眉r Krypto-Assets, der MiCAR, weltweit Vorreiter. Wir haben in der EU ein glaubw眉rdiges Regelwerk geschaffen, das den Wildwest-Ausw眉chsen wie in den USA听einen Riegel vorschiebt und gleichzeitig Vorhersehbarkeit und Planbarkeit f眉r alle Marktteilnehmer schafft. Es g盲be also bereits eine Blaupause f眉r internationale Mindeststandards. Deswegen, lieber Herr Kommissar, sollten wir von dieser Blaupause Gebrauch machen und auf internationale L枚sungen hinwirken. Dass das nicht einfach ist, ist klar. Aber wenn wir nicht anfangen, werden wir es nie schaffen.

听听Jon谩s Fern谩ndez, en nombre del Grupo S&D. 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, se帽or comisario, sin duda, yo creo que todos podr铆amos convenir en la necesidad de esas normas internacionales para el mercado de las cripto. As铆 he entendido las palabras de la Comisi贸n apelando a la necesidad de fijar esos est谩ndares m铆nimos.

Pero, ciertamente, viendo lo que estamos viendo al otro lado del Atl谩ntico, yo creo que deber铆amos empezar a reconsiderar los buenos prop贸sitos y empezar a trabajar m谩s para proteger Europa, en un tiempo en que Donald Trump e incluso su mujer emiten su propia moneda 鈥攃omo dec铆a mi colega Markus Ferber鈥� en los d铆as previos a tomar posesi贸n, mostrando poco respeto, en mi opini贸n, por la propia institucionalidad. Deber铆amos recibir el mensaje en Europa, y yo creo que el mensaje que tenemos que recibir es que no podemos contar con la Administraci贸n estadounidense en los pr贸ximos a帽os para llegar a ning煤n tipo de acuerdo m铆nimo sobre criptomonedas.

Por lo tanto, en vez de apelar a los buenos prop贸sitos en los que llevamos empe帽ados a帽os, deber铆amos tener una posici贸n mucho m谩s asertiva y ser conscientes de que ese escenario va a ser casi imposible y que, por lo tanto, tenemos que aplicar el Reglamento MiCA 鈥攃laro que hay que aplicar el Reglamento MiCA鈥�, pero tenemos que tambi茅n proteger a nuestro sector financiero, a nuestros bancos y a nuestros seguros de posibles impactos de inestabilidad financiera derivada de las cripto m谩s all谩 de Europa. Y debemos tambi茅n acelerar la negociaci贸n para tener un euro digital en Europa que permita ofrecer una respuesta propia a las necesidades, al parecer, de algunos inversores.

听听Pierre Pimpie, au nom du groupe PfE. 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, les cryptomonnaies priv茅es ne sont pas rattach茅es 脿 des 脡tats et se d茅veloppent en dehors de tout cadre d茅mocratique. Elles ne sont pas de vraies monnaies, puisque les tr猫s fortes variations de cours leur 么tent toute valeur de r茅serve. Elles n'ont que la valeur que la sp茅culation pure veut bien leur conf茅rer. Ce sont des actifs fant么mes qui ne refl猫tent pas la force d'une 茅conomie. C'est un fantasme pur qui sert aux tractations opaques et aux 茅changes occultes. C'est un jouet technologique brillant, certes, mais c'est aussi un sympt么me grave, celui de la d茅fiance vis-脿-vis des 脡tats, des banques centrales et des monnaies traditionnelles.

Les plus grands pays du monde sont tr猫s endett茅s. La pression fiscale atteint en France des niveaux effrayants et la crise sanitaire a montr茅 que les r茅gimes d茅mocratiques eux-m锚mes pouvaient 锚tre liberticides. Ainsi, les investisseurs peuvent aussi regarder les cryptomonnaies comme un refuge hors de port茅e des 脡tats faillis. Notre responsabilit茅 est donc certes de r茅glementer ces cryptomonnaies et de les respectabiliser, mais c'est surtout de garantir nos vraies monnaies en g茅rant nos finances publiques de fa莽on 脿 ne pas faire fuir les capitaux.

听听Marlena Mal膮g, w imieniu grupy ECR. 鈥� Szanowni Pa艅stwo. Unia Europejska dzi臋ki wprowadzeniu przepis贸w MICA sta艂a si臋 globalnym pionierem w regulacji rynku kryptoaktyw贸w, wyzwalaj膮c je tak naprawd臋 z szarej strefy. Nale偶y doceni膰 fakt, 偶e regulacja MICA wprowadza obowi膮zek raportowania, zapewnia mechanizmy kontroli wewn臋trznej oraz wymaga separacji aktyw贸w klienta od aktyw贸w dostawc贸w us艂ug kryptowalutowych. To podstawy, kt贸re zapewniaj膮 wi臋ksz膮 przejrzysto艣膰, bezpiecze艅stwo inwestor贸w. Co wa偶ne, zabezpieczone s膮 tak偶e interesy pa艅stw cz艂onkowskich spoza strefy euro.

Kryptowaluty, jak wiemy, nie maj膮 granic. Musimy sobie jednak jasno powiedzie膰, 偶e r贸偶nice mi臋dzy krajami znacz膮co obni偶aj膮 atrakcyjno艣膰 tego rynku i spowalniaj膮 jego rozw贸j. Dlatego konieczne jest wypracowanie globalnych standard贸w regulacyjnych. Unia Europejska, cho膰 jest liderem w tej dziedzinie, musi uwa偶a膰, by nie przyj膮膰 jak zwykle zbyt restrykcyjnego podej艣cia, kt贸re mog艂oby wepchn膮膰 innowacje, inwestycje w bardziej elastyczne rynki spoza Unii Europejskiej.

Jeszcze niedawno kryptowaluty o偶ywia艂y marzenia cz臋艣ci inwestor贸w o infrastrukturze finansowej niezale偶nej od bank贸w centralnych. Dzi艣 te marzenia nieco os艂ab艂y. Ale kryptowaluty s膮 i b臋d膮 trwa艂ym elementem globalnej gospodarki. Naszym zadaniem jest traktowanie kryptowalut jako narz臋dzi finansowych, kt贸re wymagaj膮 odpowiedniej regulacji, ale bliskich rynkom tradycyjnym, takich regulacji, kt贸re zapewni膮 bezpiecze艅stwo inwestorom, nie t艂umi膮c jednocze艣nie innowacji. Nie mo偶emy przespa膰 tej rewolucji. Przysz艂o艣膰 rynku kryptowalut wymaga r贸wnowagi mi臋dzy ochron膮 interes贸w klienta a umo偶liwieniem przede wszystkim dalszego rozwoju.

听听St茅phanie Yon-Courtin, au nom du groupe Renew. 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, aux 脡tats-Unis, Donald听Trump se r锚ve en pr茅sident de la crypto. R茅sultat, la cryptosph猫re s'enflamme, une cryptomonnaie cr茅茅e 脿 son effigie et une autre d茅di茅e 脿 Melania, le bitcoin qui s'envole et la d茅mission du pr茅sident de l'Autorit茅 des march茅s financiers am茅ricains. Pendant ce chaos, en Europe, nous avons fait un choix diff茅rent: r茅guler pour prot茅ger.

Avec le r猫glement MiCA, nous avons pos茅 les bases d'un march茅 des cryptomonnaies s茅curis茅, imposant des mesures solides contre le blanchiment d'argent et contre le financement du terrorisme, comme par exemple la v茅rification des identit茅s et le signalement des activit茅s suspectes. Car oui, les cryptomonnaies ont des avantages. Elles offrent de nouvelles opportunit茅s d'investissement, encouragent les plus jeunes 脿 venir investir, et permettent un soutien vital face 脿 des syst猫mes corrompus ou en zone de guerre, comme pour la diaspora ukrainienne.

Mais elles ne doivent pas devenir une jungle mondiale au service des fraudeurs et des criminels. 脌 ceux qui, en Europe, flirtent avec les leaders am茅ricains du bitcoin: savez-vous que leur v茅ritable objectif est de contourner nos devises officielles, 脿 commencer par l'euro, et de saboter notre syst猫me mon茅taire en Europe? Dr么les de souverainistes. Comme pour l'intelligence artificielle ou la taxation minimale, l'Europe doit pousser pour un cadre mondial. Les cryptomonnaies ne doivent pas devenir un eldorado pour les tricheurs, mais un outil au service de tous les investisseurs听2.0.

Monsieur le Commissaire, agissez maintenant pour adopter au plus vite des normes mondiales minimales. Il y va de la souverainet茅 de l'Europe, de celle de l'euro et de la protection de nos concitoyens europ茅ens.

听听Rasmus Andresen, im Namen der Verts/ALE-Fraktion. 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin! Seit knapp einer Woche gibt es den Trump Meme Coin听鈥� 枚konomisch wertlos und f眉r Trump鈥慒ans vor allem eine emotionale Bindung zu ihrem gro脽en Idol. Der TrumpCoin ist eine Betrugsmaschine, das zum Teil auch ausl盲ndische Geld geht in die Kassen der Trump鈥慒amilie. W盲hrend Ex鈥慤S鈥慞r盲sident Jimmy Carter Ende der 70er-Jahre noch seine Erdnussfarm verkaufen musste, als er gew盲hlt wurde, betr眉gt Trump auf der ganzen Linie. Aber der TrumpCoin ist vor allem auch eine Symbolik f眉r eine andere US鈥慞olitik im Bereich der Kryptow盲hrungsregulierung, und das sollte uns Sorgen machen. Wir sollten hier ganz klar feststellen, dass Anlagen in Kryptos mit hohen Risiken verbunden sind und dass wir auch wissen, dass das Geldw盲scherisiko bei Kryptow盲hrungen deutlich h枚her ist als in anderen Bereichen.

Der Mehrwert, der durch Kryptow盲hrungen geschaffen wird, ist fraglich. US鈥慞r盲sident Trump 枚ffnet mit blinder Deregulierung und auch, indem er Krypto鈥慤ltras in wichtige Finanz盲mter in seiner Administration bef枚rdert, der Privatisierung des W盲hrungssystems T眉r und Tor. Lassen Sie mich ganz klar sagen: Das darf nicht der europ盲ische Weg sein. Ich bin froh, dass eigentlich aus den gro脽en Fraktionen fast alle Redner auch Skepsis zum Ausdruck gebracht haben und deutlich gemacht haben, dass wir auf der einen Seite internationale Standards brauchen 鈥� ja 鈥�, aber dass wir nicht den Kurs einschlagen sollten, den die Trump鈥慉dministration hier auf den Weg bringt.

听听President. 鈥� Mr Andresen, I just want to let you know that it's not allowed to show images here in the Chamber when you're speaking. Please remember that.

听听Pasquale Tridico, a nome del gruppo The Left. 鈥� Signora Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, mentre negli Stati Uniti, con l'insediamento di Trump, il Bitcoin raggiunge valori storici e persino una moneta meme di Trump guadagna miliardi di capitalizzazione, in Europa il dibattito sulle valute digitali resta fermo, specialmente per quanto riguarda l'euro digitale.

L'euro digitale emesso dalla Banca centrale europea rappresenterebbe una risposta pubblica, sicura e indipendente, a sostegno della nostra autonomia strategica ed economica rispetto alle criptovalute, che, a causa della loro volatilit脿 e della mancanza di regolamentazione, non possono offrire un metodo di pagamento stabile.

Questo progetto, per貌, rimane bloccato per alcuni paesi che mettono il veto e gruppi politici. Noi, invece, sosteniamo con forza l'introduzione di questo strumento, perch茅 garantirebbe l'indipendenza strategica dell'Europa dai colossi stranieri, principalmente americani, che monopolizzano i pagamenti elettronici, permetterebbe la costruzione di un'infrastruttura europea per i pagamenti digitali, ridurrebbe i costi di transazione per consumatori e venditori e, inoltre, aumenterebbe la stabilit脿 finanziaria.

L'euro digitale rappresenterebbe anche una risposta cruciale nella lotta all'evasione, che ogni anno priva il welfare europeo di 824听miliardi di euro di gettito fiscale.

Commissario, Le chiediamo un passo in avanti rispetto all'euro digitale.

听听Ren茅 Aust, im Namen der ESN-Fraktion. 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin! In den vergangenen Jahren sind weltweit die staatlichen M枚glichkeiten gewachsen, uns B眉rger zu 眉berwachen. Der Wunsch, sich gegen diese 脺berwachung zu sch眉tzen, w盲chst jedoch ebenso. Darum erleben Kryptow盲hrungen wie Bitcoin einen solchen Aufschwung. W盲hrend der Coronazeit haben wir beispielsweise in Kanada erleben m眉ssen, wie unliebsamen Regierungskritikern die Konten gesperrt wurden. Manche Betroffene hatten nach diesen Kontoschlie脽ungen nicht einmal mehr die M枚glichkeit, ihre Mieten zu bezahlen. Kryptow盲hrungen sch眉tzen durch Verschl眉sselungstechnologien unsere B眉rger vor 眉bergriffigen Staaten. Gut so!

Dar眉ber hinaus wollen wir, dass unser Geld sicher ist vor staatlicher Manipulation.听Immer mehr Gelddruckerei durch Zentralbanken entwertet das Geld weltweit. Der Euro hat seit dem Jahr 2001 um mehr als ein Drittel seiner Kaufkraft verloren. Darum wollen viele B眉rger eine manipulationssichere W盲hrung. Auch das versprechen Kryptow盲hrungen. Im 脺brigen: Wenn hier gerade davon gesprochen wird, dass Terrorfinanzierung und Drogenfinanzierung durch Bitcoin begangen wird: 90听Prozent aller Terrorfinanzierungen finden nach wie vor durch Dollar oder Euro statt. Wir setzen uns f眉r die Souver盲nit盲t unserer Nationen ein, aber genauso setzen wir uns ein f眉r die Souver盲nit盲t unserer B眉rger. Wir trauen ihnen zu, f眉r sich selber zu entscheiden. Darum wollen wir Neuerungen wie Bitcoin und Co. auch weiterhin zulassen, und zwar so, dass nicht Politiker, die keine Ahnung von diesen Dingen haben, darin rummanipulieren. Die neue Trump鈥慠egierung macht es vor: keine Angst vor Innovation, sondern die Chancen ergreifen. Technologieoffenheit also auch im Finanzbereich.

听听Regina Doherty (PPE). 鈥� Madam听President, colleagues, we have spent the last few months since I've been here intensively talking about the importance of innovation, and it is clear that, despite all of the risks it entails, crypto stems from a desire to innovate and operate outside traditional norms and structures.

In general, legislators and regulators should focus on creating the conditions for innovation and sectors to thrive. But in this case, there's vital issues of trust, consumer protection and there is obviously the serious potential for financial crime that still exists.

And yet, on the other side of the Atlantic, we hear the promises of the new administration of the sector, even as the President's own meme coins were launched and then crashed and lost half their value in the space of one weekend.

I think there are serious questions that have to be asked about a situation where the most powerful politician and one of the richest men in the world can self鈥慹nrich himself through a scheme while purporting to be in charge of the regulators of that particular innovation? And while these questions go unaddressed, the cryptocurrency industry will continue to face serious pushback by some of us in this Chamber and outside.

The EU's legal framework for the sector seeks to promote innovation while tackling market abuse and the very large elements of criminality, and its full implementation has literally only just begun, it's in its infancy. So, I hope that when we eventually come to review and have an international standard, that our efforts will be used for that global standard.

听听Eero Hein盲luoma (S&D). 鈥� Madam President, despite the hurray mood in parts of the crypto world since the election of Trump, it's important to look at the facts. I see at least three reasons to remain concerned about this bubble.

Firstly, despite all the measures adopted, crypto seems to remain the favourite tool for sanctions evaders and gangsters, including cocaine cartels, North Korean hackers, Iranian and Russian spies and fentanyl smugglers. If we want to tackle these problems seriously, let's hit them where it hurts. Secondly, as well outlined by the ECB, the recent rise in Bitcoin value benefits mainly a happy few at the expense of the many. From an investor protection perspective, this is far from optimal. Finally, in times of high energy prices and energy scarcity, investing in infrastructure to mine bitcoins is wasting energy.

Therefore, it is good to have this debate. We indeed need global standards for crypto to tackle these challenges, and the EU should take the lead as MiCA and the AML package can give some inspiration. But we should go further and we need a MiCA 2 to close remaining regulatory loopholes, for example, around NFTs and decentralised finance applications. We count, therefore, on this new commission to pick up this role and push this agenda forward.

听听Aleksandar Nikolic (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, comme avec Internet, le cloud et l'IA, nous sommes une fois encore 脿 la charrette des grandes puissances sur la cryptomonnaie. 10听% des Europ茅ens d茅tiendraient des cryptomonnaies. En France, ils seraient d茅j脿 12听%, soit plus de 8听millions de Fran莽ais. Et cela continue d'augmenter.

Et vous? Votre premier r茅flexe, c'est d'avoir peur. Ce n'est pas de savoir comment investir dans cette nouvelle technologie, la fameuse cha卯ne de blocs, mais comment la r茅guler, comment taxer les profits de monsieur Tout-le-Monde et comment la contr么ler. Car au fond, c'est 莽a qui vous terrifie dans le monde de la crypto: il 茅chappe aux technocrates. Quand il y a une nouvelle technologie, imm茅diatement vous en avez peur et vous voulez la r茅guler.

Nous, on se demande comment s'y adapter et comment en tirer profit. Nos pr茅occupations sont: pourquoi l'Europe n'innove plus et comment utiliser ces technologies pour booster notre comp茅titivit茅. Plut么t que de taxer, favorisons l'investissement dans l'industrie europ茅enne et l'茅conomie r茅elle, incitons les d茅tenteurs de crypto 脿 transformer les plus-values en actions dans des entreprises innovantes, faisant en sorte que les futurs Nakamoto ou Musk soient europ茅ens et cr茅ent des technologies de rupture sur notre sol. Soyons enfin un continent d'avenir. Oui, il faut rendre la crypto utile et pour cela, il faut se d茅barrasser des technos inutiles.

听听Guillaume Peltier (ECR). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, partout, le socialisme m猫ne 脿 la ruine. Il y eut, certes, l'URSS, Cuba, l'Angola ou le Br茅sil qui se r茅veill猫rent pauvres comme jamais. Mais aujourd'hui, c'est l'Europe que les gauches tentent d'asservir. Pas un jour qui ne passe sans que les politiciens de gauche n'inventent, en France ou ailleurs, une nouvelle norme, une nouvelle taxe, une nouvelle contrainte. Pas un jour qui ne passe sans que les vieilles gauches sur ces bancs ne hurlent contre le m茅rite, l'effort, le succ猫s, le travail. Alors, je le dis 脿 tous ces politiciens: laissez-nous tranquilles. Quand laisserez-vous respirer les entrepreneurs et les originaux de tout poil dont vous sabordez le talent?

Le p茅nible babil technocratique de ce d茅bat sur les cryptomonnaies est le sympt么me d'une Europe en dormition, 茅puis茅e par la fi猫vre socialiste. D茅pass茅e et d茅class茅e, voil脿 l'Europe que vous proposez au monde, transformant la terre de Jacques听C艙ur en mouroir de l'esprit d'entreprise. Pire: 脿 l'heure o霉 le monde entier fait le choix de la libert茅 avec Donald听Trump, Elon听Musk ou Javier听Milei, vous voulez nous contraindre 脿 la rel茅gation. Pourtant, l'histoire est t锚tue. En connaissez-vous beaucoup des gens de gauche qui, 脿 la chute du mur de Berlin, se sont enfuis 脿 l'Est? Le monde entier s'茅veille et vous, la gauche, vous voulez continuer 脿 dormir de vos vieilles lunes ou, pire, vous ronflez de vos imp么ts fatigu茅s. Alors 茅coutez bien: nous ne voulons plus de vous, nous ne voulons plus 锚tre ni tax茅s ni spoli茅s, nous voulons 锚tre libres!

听听Gilles Boyer (Renew). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, les cryptomonnaies gagnent d'茅vidence en popularit茅. Elles fonctionnent en dehors de toute l茅gislation financi猫re et dans l'anonymat le plus total. Comme tout instrument de sp茅culation, elles feront la fortune des uns et l'infortune des autres, sans jamais contribuer 脿 l'茅conomie r茅elle. Mais n'oublions pas, et c'est notre r么le, que c'est avant tout 脿 la puissance publique d'organiser la circulation des monnaies en s'adaptant aux nouveaux usages et de garantir la stabilit茅 et l'utilisation de l'euro.

C'est le sens du projet d'euro num茅rique, un 茅quivalent 脿 l'argent liquide dans un portefeuille num茅rique, 茅mis et garanti par la Banque centrale europ茅enne, 脿 l'inverse des cryptomonnaies. Ce sera un moyen de paiement gratuit, s茅curis茅, accept茅 partout en Europe, m锚me dans les zones sans connexion Internet et avec, dans certains cas, un niveau d'anonymat similaire 脿 l'argent liquide. L'euro num茅rique permettra 脿 l'Union europ茅enne de pr茅server et de renforcer sa souverainet茅 mon茅taire dans un secteur des paiements de plus en plus num茅ris茅. Les col茅gislateurs doivent s'y atteler sans tarder, au premier rang desquels notre Parlement.

听听Damian Boeselager (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Madam President, cryptocurrencies themselves are just a technology, but I always have to get a bit careful when I see how excited the far right gets about a certain technology. It reminds me of a saying that I've heard recently, which is that 'not all crypto traders are gangsters, but all gangsters are in crypto'. And now with Trump also launching his meme coin 鈥� which I think had a value of USD听40听billion market cap at some point 鈥� we really have to ask ourselves how we can get better.

The good thing is we already have great standards with MiCA here in Europe, which enables the innovation that we need and fights the misuse and the risks that we can see with people trying to agglomerate power and money without end. So what we need to do now is to really set up global standards. We need to transfer MiCA into global standards so that we can have the innovation that cryptocurrencies can unleash, but fight the risks that are there.

听听Catarina Martins (The Left). 鈥� Senhora Presidente, todas as 茅pocas tiveram as suas bolhas e fraudes financeiras. Hoje, s茫o as criptomoedas, uma burla disfar莽ada de investimento, que gera uma montanha de polui莽茫o sem produzir um alfinete.

Sem surpresa e sem escr煤pulos, Trump acaba de anunciar a cria莽茫o da sua pr贸pria criptomoeda, que ser谩 regida pelas regras que o pr贸prio criar谩 como presidente dos Estados Unidos. Como em qualquer esquema de pir芒mide, s贸 os criadores, como Trump, sair茫o sempre cheios de dinheiro, mas, neste caso, dinheiro real, euros, d贸lares. Os incautos e deslumbrados v茫o perder tudo.

Senhor Comiss谩rio, ao permitir as criptomoedas a pretexto da regula莽茫o, as institui莽玫es europeias est茫o a normalizar a burla, contribuindo para enganar cidad茫os e, ao permitir aos bancos a constitui莽茫o de carteiras de criptoativos, est茫o a criar um mecanismo crescente de cont谩gio aos mercados, ignorando at茅 os avisos do FMI. Na crise do Silicon Valley Bank, j谩 tivemos um cheiro deste mecanismo.

听听Aurore Lalucq (S&D). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, chers coll猫gues, parce que sans r茅gulation, le march茅 des crypto-actifs, ce ne sont pas des monnaies, ce ne sont pas des technologies, ce sont des actifs financiers. Ce serait fait d'arnaques, de financements, de pratiques illicites en tout genre, dont celle du financement de groupes terroristes tels que Daesh. Nous avons choisi de les r茅glementer dans un climat hostile, violent, toxique, fait de menaces et de cyber-harc猫lement.

Il est donc cocasse de voir aujourd'hui que ceux-l脿 m锚mes qui nous harcelaient 脿 l'茅poque et hurlaient qu'ils allaient partir aux 脡tats-Unis 脿 cause de nous, se plaignent des pratiques actuelles de l'administration de Donald听Trump, lequel a d茅stabilis茅 le march茅 avec le lancement de son 芦coin禄. Ils sont en train d'exp茅rimenter ce qu'est la loi du plus fort quand elle ne leur est pas favorable. Donc oui, 茅videmment, comme nous l'avons toujours dit, il nous faut des r茅glementations au niveau international. Il faut aussi prot茅ger la n么tre, se renforcer sur la question de la stabilit茅 financi猫re, mais surtout, par piti茅, ne perdons pas trop de temps avec ce d茅bat. On sait ce qu'il faut faire dans le domaine des cryptos. En revanche, on doit avancer en ce qui concerne l'euro num茅rique et la cr茅ation de nos propres 芦big听tech禄.

听听Mathilde Androu毛t (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, l'essor des cryptomonnaies est un d茅fi majeur pour nos 脡tats et pour l'Union europ茅enne. Ces syst猫mes alternatifs, 茅chappant souvent au contr么le des banques centrales, ne doivent pas compromettre un principe fondamental: la souverainet茅 mon茅taire des nations. La monnaie est un attribut r茅galien indispensable pour garantir la stabilit茅 茅conomique et prot茅ger nos concitoyens.

Pourtant, pendant que l'Europe s'interroge, d'autres pays avancent 脿 grands pas. Les 脡tats-Unis, par exemple, ne se contentent pas d'encadrer ces nouvelles technologies; ils les soutiennent, les d茅veloppent et les utilisent comme un levier d'influence strat茅gique 脿 l'茅chelle mondiale. De leur c么t茅, la Chine et d'autres puissances investissent massivement pour asseoir leur domination num茅rique.

Face 脿 cela, l'Europe ne peut rester fig茅e dans une culture de la surr茅glementation. Certes, il est essentiel de garantir un cadre s没r, transparent et respectueux de nos valeurs. Mais r茅glementer sans agir, c'est accepter de subir. Nous devons changer de paradigme. Investissons dans les technologies num茅riques comme la cha卯ne de blocs, soutenons les entreprises innovantes et encourageons l'茅mergence de solutions europ茅ennes comp茅titives. Il en va de notre souverainet茅 茅conomique et mon茅taire.

Nous ne pouvons pas laisser des acteurs ext茅rieurs imposer leurs r猫gles, dicter leurs normes et nous asservir 脿 des technologies qu'ils contr么lent seuls. Soyons ambitieux, b芒tissons une Europe qui ose, qui innove et qui s'affirme comme un leader mondial. Oui, l'avenir de notre souverainet茅 ne s'茅crira pas dans l'attentisme; l'Europe doit 锚tre forte, visionnaire et audacieuse.

Nel campo della cibercriminalit脿 emergono tecniche avanzatissime, che richiedono competenze elevate degli investigatori. Tali competenze necessitano di personale adeguatamente formato.

Inoltre, cresce l'uso di criptovalute ancorate al valore delle materie prime, apprezzate dai capi criminali per la loro stabilit脿 e facile comprensione.

La mancanza di strumenti adeguati per il tracciamento delle criptovalute in alcuni Stati membri sta facendo aumentare le richieste di supporto investigativo a Europol.

Di fronte a queste sfide 鈥� e conoscendo la Sua grande sensibilit脿 鈥� 猫 essenziale un impegno coordinato per sviluppare standard globali e condivisi, al fine di combattere efficacemente l'uso illegale di questa tecnologia.

You are on the speakers' list, so therefore I cannot give you a blue card. It's clear in the Rules.

听听L铆dia Pereira (PPE). 鈥� Senhora Presidente, mais do que exportar legisla莽茫o, a Europa tem de exportar inova莽茫o. Mas vamos ser claros: n茫o fomos pioneiros na tecnologia que suporta os criptoativos e dev铆amos ter sido, mas para criar o regulamento, obriga莽玫es e burocracias, a铆 n茫o perdemos tempo.

脡 evidente que os criptoativos precisam de um quadro legal. S茫o um ativo financeiro, por isso, h谩 m铆nimos de transpar锚ncia e, muito importante, de prote莽茫o do investidor. Mas 茅 tamb茅m evidente que essas leis t锚m de garantir seguran莽a e previsibilidade para quem quer inovar e investir.

Se aqui na Europa n茫o estamos a garantir nem uma coisa nem outra, como vamos defender uma regula莽茫o global? Primeiro, temos de garantir que o regulamento de mercado de criptoativos 茅 bem implementado. Segundo, temos de apoiar a inova莽茫o em blockchain com a consci锚ncia de que 茅 uma tecnologia que n茫o se esgota em criptomoedas, mas que pode e deve ser aplicada noutras 谩reas. Terceiro, temos de perceber que criptomoedas s茫o hoje ativos financeiros como qualquer outro.

Tentar uma regula莽茫o global tem impacto na concorr锚ncia livre, na din芒mica do mercado e na liberdade financeira das pessoas. N茫o podemos viver num faroeste financeiro, quando falamos de criptomoedas, mas tamb茅m n茫o podemos aprisionar novos projetos, novas ideias e novos investimentos que criam emprego e oportunidades.

Este j谩 n茫o 茅 o tempo de desconfiar de tudo quanto 茅 novo, 茅 o tempo de confiar naqueles que inovam, que investem, que fazem futuro no presente.

听听President. 鈥� Let me just be more specific on the rule for blue cards. The rule I used before was Rule 178(10), and the rule states that you're not allowed to use a blue card to put a question to a person in a group or affiliation you belong to. So that was the reason why I was not allowed to give you the blue card, but feel free to use blue cards for other people than those belonging to your own affiliation.

(Off-mic comments from Diana Iovanovici 艦o艧oac膬)

It is stated in the Rules. That also goes for non-attached Members.

听听Nikos Papandreou (S&D). 鈥� Madam听President,听Commissioner, from this discussion I think the answer is staring us in the face.

We have two distinct philosophies, one on one side of the Atlantic and one on the other side. The US is a free market, let it bloom, let's have the $TRUMP coin and then we regulate. Ours is let's regulate and see what happens.

What's happening now is, besides the criminal activities with crypto, it's also used by poor people in countries with inflation. So they put it into crypto, a very unsafe coin, and then turn it back into their currency.

What we need to do is to create the Spinelli coin, which is the digital euro, and to have our own digital crypto competing so that we can impose international standards with safe asset from Europe.

We will not be able to regulate the huge space from the rest of the world, unless we have our own digital coin that people will trust in, not only in Europe but internationally. MiCA helps on that. The way we will impose international standards and MiCA is by having our own innovation and our own Europe.

听听Nikos Papandreou (S&D), blue-card answer. 鈥� If I understood the question, we have two ways of using crypto: one is companies which invest, and the other is individual purchases. Those are two separate entities. The companies that use crypto to invest need to be regulated. The individual using it for purchases is not a legal entity and comes under different rules, if I understood you properly.

听听Ang茅line Furet (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, la cha卯ne de blocs et les cryptomonnaies sont n茅es d'une id茅e simple: redonner le contr么le aux individus, renforcer la transparence et garantir un acc猫s 茅quitable 脿 des syst猫mes ouverts. D茅centralisation, transparence et s茅curit茅 sont donc les valeurs fondamentales de cette r茅volution. Mais aujourd'hui, la cha卯ne de blocs va bien au-del脿 des transactions financi猫res. Elle r茅volutionne la gestion des donn茅es, la tra莽abilit茅 et la confiance num茅rique en transcendant les fronti猫res et en appelant 脿 une coop茅ration mondiale. Cependant, avec cet immense potentiel viennent aussi des d茅fis: fraudes, in茅galit茅s d'acc猫s et manque de r茅glementations claires.

C'est donc ici que r茅side notre responsabilit茅 collective. Il faut b芒tir des normes mondiales, non pas pour 茅touffer l'innovation, mais pour l'encadrer et l'amplifier. Ces normes doivent donc 1) s茅curiser les utilisateurs; 2) pr茅server la d茅centralisation; 3) favoriser un cadre propice 脿 l'innovation.

L'Europe, avec des initiatives comme le r猫glement MiCA, a d茅montr茅 qu'une r茅glementation, bien que partielle, est envisageable. Elle doit donc maintenant agir comme un pont pour initier un dialogue mondial. La cha卯ne de blocs est une chance unique de construire des syst猫mes plus justes et 茅quitables.

听听Diego Solier (NI). 鈥� Se帽ora presidente, se帽or comisario, el Reglamento MiCA, aunque presentado como un avance hacia la regulaci贸n de los criptoactivos, representa una amenaza directa a los derechos de los ciudadanos.

Bajo el pretexto de proteger al consumidor y garantizar la estabilidad financiera, este marco podr铆a socavar la privacidad, la libertad financiera y la innovaci贸n. Imponer est谩ndares globales en un sistema creado para ser descentralizado es, literalmente, ponerle puertas al campo.

Medidas como la recopilaci贸n masiva de datos personales, requisitos de capital inalcanzables para听start-ups y la prohibici贸n de ciertos criptoactivos no solo ahogan la innovaci贸n, sino que limitan la libertad de elecci贸n de los ciudadanos. Adem谩s, la vigilancia y la supervisi贸n excesiva abren la puerta a un control digital sin precedentes.

Mi pregunta es clara: 驴estamos regulando para proteger al ciudadano o para reforzar el control de los grandes poderes econ贸micos y pol铆ticos sobre sus vidas? No podemos permitir que este Reglamento traicione la esencia de las criptomonedas: descentralizaci贸n, autonom铆a y libertad.

听听Andrey Kovatchev (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, the European tech sector faces challenges that create a perception of stagnation compared to dynamic regions like South鈥慐ast Asia and the US. The EU is a global pioneer in the introduction of regulations such as the MiCA, with the aim to protect customers, but without hamper the growth. Yes, we need global standards, and the EU must be in the lead of this introduction. But also, we need to wake up.

Talent migration is a big concern, with 90听% of the EU tech workers willing to relocate to the US for better salaries and funding opportunities. To reclaim the position of Europe, we need innovation鈥慺riendly policies, including clear regulatory frameworks and sandbox environments for start-ups that will promote prosperity and growth.

The rapid development of cryptocurrency markets highlights the urgent need to educate people on how to navigate the evolving landscape responsibly. Without proper knowledge, individuals and businesses risk falling victim to scams, fraud, financial crimes or malign global players. Europe needs to act now and act fast, if we are serious about our fostering competitiveness, and to act together with the responsible crypto community and not in a war with them.

Are we ready to take bold decisions to ensure our success or will we risk again being left behind as others seize opportunities which we hesitate to explore? Commission and Council and colleagues, we need to act now.

听听Caterina Chinnici (PPE). 鈥� Signor Presidente, signor Commissario Brunner, onorevoli colleghi, "follow the money": 猫 questo il metodo per contrastare davvero la criminalit脿 organizzata, come l'esperienza investigativa e giudiziaria italiana ci insegna da oltre quarant'anni.听E "focus on the money" 猫 oggi il motto della Procura europea nel solco di quell'insegnamento.

Quando il denaro si fa virtuale, le sfide per le autorit脿 di regolamentazione e di contrasto si complicano, mentre invece si moltiplicano le opportunit脿 per le organizzazioni criminali: decentralizzazione, anonimato, bassa tracciabilit脿, scarsit脿 di controlli, possibilit脿 di effettuare rapidi trasferimenti di denaro transfrontalieri e di creare catene complesse di transazioni sono solo alcune delle ragioni che rendono criptovalute e blockchain strumenti sempre pi霉 utili per la criminalit脿 organizzata transnazionale e per le organizzazioni terroristiche globali.

In criptovalute si pagano i traffici di droga, armi ed esseri umani e, attraverso le operazioni che le criptovalute consentono, i capitali illeciti vengono riciclati e reinvestiti agevolmente nell'economia legale.

Per questo, 猫 necessario regolamentare il fenomeno. Certo, con il regolamento sui mercati delle cripto鈥慳ttivit脿, le norme sui trasferimenti di cripto鈥慳ttivit脿 e le nuove norme su antiriciclaggio e confisca abbiamo iniziato a farlo, per貌 l'Unione deve continuare a sostenere l'adozione di regole uniformi e standard globali, per impedire alle organizzazioni criminali di sfruttare a proprio vantaggio lacune e differenze normative, arginare il jurisdiction shopping e, cos矛, contrastare davvero il crimine economico e finanziario.

听听Se谩n Kelly (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, digital and cryptocurrencies present an important opportunity for Europe, provided we establish the necessary safeguards. We must strike the right balance between regulating to enhance consumer protection and promote financial stability, while ensuring we do not hinder innovation or impede the financial inclusion that cryptocurrencies can offer.

The MiCA Regulation demonstrates Europe's willingness to lead in establishing best-in-class regulatory frameworks. Recent events, such as the collapse of the FTX in November 2022, have shown why proper standards are essential to protect our citizens from irresponsible, and even fraudulent, market behaviour.

However, the new Trump administration's pro-crypto stance provides an opportunity for us to reflect. We hear from the crypto industry that the US is now becoming a more attractive jurisdiction than the EU, with its regulatory approach expected to be looser than ours. On this I make two points.

One: here in Europe we must approach this industry with the same competitiveness lens we apply to all sectors. It is vital to monitor the impact of our regulations and remain adaptable enough to amend them if needed, ensuring we maintain the right balance.

Two: those in the crypto industry eyeing Trump's America with enthusiasm might reflect on the Trump coin debacle before this week's inauguration. Be careful what you wish for!

Ultimately, the cross-border and decentralised nature of cryptocurrencies demands international cooperation to address clear regulatory gaps, as was stated by the Commissioner and my colleague Markus Ferber. So let us collaborate closely with our global partners to establish clear and enforceable global standards.

(End of catch-the-eye procedure)

听听Magnus Brunner, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, what an interesting discussion and God bless Europe, I would say. I would like to conclude maybe this discussion by saying that we, of course, remain strong supporters of international standards for crypto. These represent a common set of principles around which jurisdictions around the world can converge.

These standards ensure, at the end, an appropriate policy framework for crypto markets allowing innovation 鈥� yes, that is very important 鈥� to take place while ensuring that risks are appropriately mitigated. And with this EU MiCA Regulation all of you and most of you were talking about, Europe is the first major jurisdiction to achieve compliance also with international crypto standards.

However, the Commission is well aware that our efforts alone, or even a partial international effort, cannot ensure that the risks posed by these global crypto markets are adequately addressed, and it is therefore crucial that the adoption of international crypto standards continues to grow.

The US, that was mentioned as well as a key partner, of course, in promoting the adoption of international standards. We therefore do hope that the new administration will act as a catalyst for further progress in bringing regulatory clarity to crypto asset markets in the United States. And we would expect that any new policy and regulatory developments in the US fully, of course, reflect international standards.

Thanks again for the discussion and for giving the Commission also the opportunity to participate in this very important exchange.

听听President. 鈥� The debate is closed.

Written Statements (Rule 178)

听听Thomas Bajada (S&D), in writing. 鈥� Digital innovation in the world of finance, including cryptocurrencies, enhances competition and provides alternative and more cost-effective ways of financing. It is very possible that EU citizens will start preferring crypto-assets to other traditional methods of payments, in order to have a cheaper, faster and more efficient way to apply payments, especially on a cross-border basis. The EU has been at the forefront on the regularisation of cryptocurrencies, aiming at assisting the market to develop, while protecting users.

Yet risks due to global regulatory gaps persist. This can lead to instability effects on the financial system and high risks for users. Cryptocurrencies represent an international phenomenon that require an international approach to mitigate risks. Despite various efforts, the global approach to cryptocurrencies remains fragmented. It also lacks the needed consumer confidence.

The message is clear: stability is the way forward to make the market more attractive to investors. To that end, the EU must ensure that it continues leading the global effort to regularise the market. This will help the market grow globally, and provide it with the needed confidence and stability so that an established crypto system is safely reachable to all.
