Stani Kulechov: European regulators restricting DeFi access will harm open financial networks

--

Aave founder Stani Kulechov expressed disappointment with the response of the European Central Bank and the European Banking Authority to the MiCA consultation, pointing out that relevant institutions advocate banning stablecoin payment income and suggest restricting CASPs from providing DeFi access channels to users and implementing authentication systems. Stani Kulechov believes that having regulatory agencies determine the applicability of protocols will create a closed ecosystem, weaken the liquidity and network effects of open financial networks, and call for placing user interests at the core of regulatory frameworks.
