Image: GBBC Response to ESMA Consultation on MiCA Knowledge & Competence Guidelines

Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), with the support of its EMEA Working Group members, is pleased to have submitted a response to ESMA’s Consultation Paper on Guidelines for the assessment of knowledge and competence under MiCA.

We welcome ESMA’s efforts to establish a harmonised, proportionate framework to raise competence standards across the crypto-asset sector and enhance investor protection.

Our response stresses the importance of:

Proportionality and consistency with MiFID II
Clear definitions around roles—especially “information provision”
A modular, risk-based approach to training and certification
Avoiding premature centralisation of training providers
Embedding crypto-native modules on AML/CFT, market abuse, and forensics
Distinct tracks for technical and advisory staff, recognising function-specific expertise
We strongly support ESMA’s objectives while urging a flexible, market-led path to implementation that accommodates crypto’s pace of innovation and diversity of roles.

A huge thank you to our members for their insights and contributions to this important dialogue.

Video: Perspectives of Gen Z: Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

Image: Perspectives of Gen Z: Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

As digitally native, Gen Z has grown up immersed in technology, naturally navigating the complexities of digital environments. This enables Gen Z to adapt to the fast-paced changes in the tech industry. 

However, with the changing landscape of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, along with the media, hype, and noise that surround them, the key functions behind the technology are not always apparent. 

One of GBBC's Youth Changemakers, Aayush Jetly, a high schooler in Friendswood, Texas, asks his Gen Z peers about their interest and involvement in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Then, he interviews a few members of GBBC’s Gen Z team, Adrian Matak, Namrritha Senthilkumar, and Justin Legesse to see how blockchain is shaping the future. 

Thank you, Aayush, for gathering these insights!

News: GBBC Responds to UK FCA Discussion Paper 24/4: Regulating Cryptoassets – Admissions & Disclosures and Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets

Image: UK FCA Discussion Paper 24/4: Regulating Cryptoassets 

GBBC, with the help of our members, is pleased to have submitted a response to UK FCA Discussion Paper 24/4: Regulating Cryptoassets – Admissions & Disclosures and Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets.

We welcome the FCA’s initiative to establish a proportionate regulatory framework tailored specifically for cryptoassets. Our response emphasizes the unique challenges and dynamics of crypto markets, highlighting areas where traditional securities regulation may not be suitable. We stress the importance of proportionality in disclosure obligations, clarity on liabilities (particularly for exchanges in decentralized scenarios), and practical solutions for standardizing disclosures, including centralized FCA oversight or industry-led initiatives.

Key points include the necessity to address gaps around grandfathering existing cryptoassets without whitepapers, the potential role of classificatory frameworks for standardization, and recognizing distinctive market behaviours unique to cryptoassets when designing the market abuse regime. We also underline the importance of balanced on-chain and off-chain monitoring, while highlighting challenges like the free-rider problem in coordinated industry monitoring.

Read the full response here.
GBBC would like to extend its gratitude to the FCA for working with the industry and asking for comments on such critical topics. We would also like to thank our Members and European Policy Analyst, Adrian Matak, for their contributions.

Cover Image: GBBC-USA, on behalf of USBC, Files Amicus Brief

Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC)-USA, on behalf of U.S. Blockchain Coalition (USBC), has filed an Amicus Brief on appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming No. 22-cv-125 alongside The Digital Chamber (TDC). 
GBBC-USA and TDC both have a strong interest in this case and a vital perspective to provide as coalitions with substantial experience in the digital asset space. Denying state-chartered banks a dependable path to participate in the national banking scheme simply because they hold digital assets poses a direct threat not just to the trillion-dollar blockchain industry's sustained growth and success, but also to every present and future industry that may fall into disfavor with federal regulators despite operating completely within legal bounds.  
We extend our sincere thanks to the law firm Clement & Murphy for their incredible oversight in drafting this brief. Their dedication and expertise have been invaluable throughout this process. We also express our gratitude to our members who contributed their deep insights, guaranteeing that the brief reflects the collective wisdom of our community. Additionally, we appreciate the collaboration of The Digital Chamber.
Together, we strive to create an environment where the cryptocurrency industry can flourish without facing prejudice, thereby promoting a secure, dynamic, and inclusive financial ecosystem for all stakeholders. Our collective efforts are a testament to the power of collaboration in driving meaningful regulatory clarity and advancing the future of digital finance.

GBBC Submits Response to ESMA75-453128700-1002 Consultation

Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) is delighted to share our consultation response to European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)’s Consultation on the Technical Standards specifying certain requirements of MiCA (3rd package).  GBBC welcomes ESMA’s work in establishing robust guidelines, standards and procedures which contribute to investor protection, market confidence and prevent market abuse.

This consultation response focuses on the guidelines and technical standards proposed by ESMA. Our analysis addresses several key issues, including the scope of Article 92, identifying and defining PPAETs, and considering whether miners, validators, and CASPs should be encompassed by the regulation.

Through the process of consolidating the different perspectives from around Europe, we stress the necessity of effective cross-border regulatory coordination and adherence to global standards ensuring that EU regulations maintain market integrity and investor confidence.  We  advocate for amendments to the draft guidelines to enhance risk disclosures, security measures, and investor education.

A huge thank you to the GBBC members that contributed to this response, and to GBBC’s Dimitrios Psarrakis and Adrian Matak.

News: GBBC and Hyperledger Foundation Release "Learning Tokens" Special Report

GBBC and Hyperledger Foundation Release Special Report, "Learning Tokens"

Hot Off the Press: Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) and Hyperledger Foundation have released "Learning Tokens," a special report that dives into blockchain’s role in representing the value of transmission of knowledge by tokenizing the learning process.   
Education is a fundamental asset that develops human capacities. Drawing on the Token Taxonomy Framework of GBBC’s InterWork Alliance (IWA), use of standardized tokens for evaluation and certification can validate educational achievements at a granular level – not only upon completion of a degree or certificate, but also upon completion of milestones along the way.  Opportunities range from more inclusive and participatory learning environments, transparent and inclusive labor markets, and supporting economic development to improve human lives. 
Thank you to the Hyperledger Foundation team, including the mentorship program's Alfonso Govela, Linux Foundation Mentor, and Tanjin Alam, Linux Foundation Mentee 2023; Linux Foundation Mentor.

GBBC Submits Responses to ESMA Consultation Papers on Reverse Solicitation and Criteria for the Classification of Crypto-Assets as Financial Instruments

Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), with the help of our members, is pleased to have submitted two responses to European Security and Market Authority (ESMA)'s consultation papers:

ESMA75-453128700-52 MiCA Consultation Paper - Guidelines on the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments
We welcome the work of ESMA in providing its suggestions. We recognise the difficulty to establish clear criteria in a space where 27 member-states may have different definitions of what a financial instrument or security is. We understand that this multiplicity of definitions is a major challenge and we believe that it is time for the Union to ensure consistency and clarity.  

Read our response in full here.

ESMA35-1872330276-1619 Consultation Paper - Guidelines on reverse solicitation under MiCA
We believe ESMA should take into account various factors when assessing whether activities are targeted towards EU customers, including the language used, the geographic location of the audience, and the specific content and context of the activities. This nuanced approach can help avoid misinterpretations and ensure that regulatory requirements are applied appropriately. A balanced and pragmatic approach is needed to distinguish between activities targeting EU customers and purely local activities. By considering the specific circumstances and intentions behind these activities, regulators can mitigate the risk of overreach and support the continued participation of non-EU financial service providers in the EU market.

By promoting transparency and cooperation between regulators and industry participants, regulators can effectively enforce regulations while minimising unnecessary burdens and disruptions to legitimate business activities.

GBBC thanks ESMA for working with industry and asking for comments.
