The Cardano Foundation submitted a 19-page response to the European Commission opposing specific new rules for decentralized finance (DeFi) and crypto staking in the MiCA regulation revision. It argues that existing financial laws should apply based on function and risk, not technology, and requests a clear distinction between ADA token delegation without custody loss and staking services by intermediaries. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) proposes regulated services for DeFi access and targeted obligations for staking providers, but no legislative decisions have been made yet. The European Commission is still analyzing responses from its consultation before any new crypto regulations are proposed.
