European Parliament delays vote on crypto assets bill over proof-of-work debate

02/25 13:28

According to TheBlockCrypto, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Directive, known as MiCA, was on the docket for a vote on February 28 that would send it from the European Parliament into negotiations between that body and the Council of the European Union and the European Commission — putting future alterations into question. However, Stefan Berger, chairman of the Economics Committee and rapporteur in charge of that vote, has postponed it, Berger's office told The Block today. A source close to negotiations over the directive told The Block that the primary point of contention was late-stage changes that some interpreted as bans on proof-of-work networks, primarily out of concerns over their energy usage. After a leak generated negative press as well as overwhelming Twitter response, the right and center-right members withdrew support for the latest amendments.
