European Commission weighs separate EU staking regime

  • The European Commission is checking whether MiCA is sufficient for staking via intermediaries
  • Solo staking does not fall under separate MiCA requirements
  • ESMA: a service cannot stake client coins purely for its own benefit
  • Liquid staking TVL reached $44 billion, 80% of it on Ethereum
Why it matters: A new regime could require intermediaries to report and apply controls, strengthening staking concentration among large licensed players.
