#EUCI, with other 5 organisations and 55 signatories, has written an open letter addressing concerns regarding the #DataAct.

We call on lawmakers to reconsider and clarify certain aspects of it, to ensure neutrality and legal certainty in the #blockchain industry. Image
🟣 Article 2(16)

The current definition of 'Smart Contracts' is broad, and we fear it may lead to unintended consequences for existing #SmartContracts on public #blockchains, such as Ethereum, Avalanche, Cardano, Cosmos, IOTA, NEAR, Chromia, and Polkadot. Image
We propose three alternative solutions to bring more legal clarity:

substituting 'Smart Contract' with 'Digital Contract', clarifying the scope of Article 30, or limiting Article 2(16) to privately operated and permissioned electronic data records.

1/ In light of today's second political trilogue, we are sharing our position on #AMLR. We discuss our concerns & recommendations to strike the right balance between tackling financial crimes & fostering innovation in the #blockchain & #crypto industries. Image
2/ 🟣 We highlight the issue of double scoping of #CASPs as both financial institutions & a standalone category, potentially leading to legal confusion. We ask legislators to revert back to the EC's initial proposal for defining obliged entities under #AMLR.
3/ 🟣 We address the inclusion of #NFTs services as obliged persons, Metaverse, #DAOs & #DeFi arrangements. We urge legislators to remove unnecessary references, considering the diverse nature of NFTs & the nascent stage of the Metaverse and DeFi.

1/🔍SEC Chairman Gensler suggests Proof-of-Stake (PoS) tokens may be securities under the Howey Test, but @Conste11ation's $DAG with Proof-of-Reputable-Observation (PRO) evades this definition. Let's dive in!🧵
coindesk.com/policy/2023/03…
2/💡PoS tokens raise concerns as investors expect returns by purchasing and staking tokens. However, in @Conste11ation's PRO, tokens are bonded to increase the reputation of a node, not directly tied to utility.
3/📈With $DAG, tokens are directly tied to bandwidth, not mere staking for returns. This distinction separates $DAG from other PoS tokens and potentially keeps it out of the SEC's securities classification.
