Stable Coins Forum / Re: Kinesis Stablecoins
« on: April 23, 2024, 10:13:04 PM »OP you seem to be very knowledgeable about this project. Please let me ask, if you're ever European too, do you know if Kinesis stablecoins will be impacted by the ongoing MiCA regulation?
One of its objectives is to regulate stablecoins in the EU and, in the long term I believe, to favor the digital euro over other $tablecoins. For example, USDT should be banned in the EU from June 30. I wonder whether Europeans will still have access to the services/stablecoins we're talking about in this topic, in the short/medium term.
FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD FROM A NON-OP USER!
MICA
Kinesis has grown slowly, the main reason is that they have been trying to copy with all different regulations - present and future - around the world.
For example, 6 years ago when they made their ITO in order to raise capital, they decided to not sell their KVT in the USA in order to avoid possible issues with the regulators.
They have a partnership with the Indonesian government, and they aim to do other partnerships with public entities.
Of course a condition for any public entity to do business with you is that your track record of following regulations - all around the world - must be impeccable.
That said, will Kinesis be impacted by the MICA regulations?
I don't know.
Do MICA regulations concern precious metals?
As Kinesis currencies are gold and silver, maybe not. Maybe they are considered just as commodities.
But gold and silver are also currencies, so maybe yes.
To be honest I asked it on X, replying to a post of BIS (Bank for International Settlement) that was mentioning MICA, but of course I got no response
