Cut the red tape: 39 financial giants demand an emergency fast-track for Europe's blockchain pilot



European financial firms and technology groups are urging lawmakers to speed up changes to rules governing distributed ledger technology, warning the region risks falling behind the U.S. in digital finance.

In a joint letter, 39 signatories including Boerse Stuttgart Group, Nasdaq and fintech associations across several European Union (EU) countries asked the European Commission and Parliament to separate the digital ledger technology (DLT) pilot regime from a broader legislative package under review.

They argue that handling the rules on their own would allow quicker updates, Bloomberg reports. The DLT pilot, in place since 2023, lets firms test how tokenized versions of assets like shares and bonds can trade and settle using blockchains.

It sits within a wider set of 18 financial laws now moving through the EU’s legislative process, a path industry groups say could take years.

The coalition is pushing for practical changes, including expanding the types of assets allowed, raising transaction limits to 150 billion euros ($176 billion) and removing expiry dates on licenses. These changes, they argue, would give firms room to build real markets rather than small trials.

The letter comes as the U.S. shapes laws regulating the space, including the Genius Act, meant to help bring crypto further into mainstream finance.

The European Commission has signaled it prefers to pass the full legislative package together as part of its broader plan to mobilize savings into investment.

But the bill hit a wall after Coinbase and other crypto companies publicly opposed earlier versions of it. Among their objections: the bill would ban yield-bearing stablecoins. Banks, for their part, have pushed hard to keep that ban in place.Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina has been working on a revised draft aimed at satisfying both sides, but reports say it has already drawn pushback and has yet to be released publicly.The standoff reflects a deeper anxiety in the banking industry — one that a senior Moody’s analyst says may be premature, at least for now. 🏦 Analyst from Moody’s agency states that stablecoins do not pose a threat to banks in the near future. #stablecoin#crypto pic.twitter.com/jP8aB5uN1r — CryptOpus (@ImCryptOpus) April 20, 2026Near-Term Risk Remains Low, Analyst SaysAbhi Srivastava, associate vice president at Moody’s Investors Service Digital Economy Group, said that the threat stablecoins pose to traditional banks is limited at this point in the adoption cycle.

Crypto Market Rebounds With Broad Green; Bitcoin Breaks $76K and Altcoins Surge

Crypto markets turned decisively higher over the last 24 hours, snapping a tense stretch of geopolitically driven volatility and pulling Bitcoin back above a level that had recently looked harder to reclaim. The renewed strength mattered because it suggested traders were willing to rebuild risk exposure even after a sharp drop below $74,000 earlier this week. BTC climbed past $76,000 and traded around $76,400, marking a daily gain of roughly 2%.

A large transaction has been recorded on the crypto market, where 75 million $XRP, about $108 million at the current rate, was transferred from Ripple wallets to the Coinbase exchange. Despite the scale and nature of the transfer, there are calls not to rush to conclusions about a "sell-off", instead viewing the incident through the lens of the company's updated business model.
