Blockchain & Crypto Assets : the European Union’s Policy and Regulation

The lecture will provide an overview of the European Union’s policy for blockchain technologies. A blockchain network for cross border cooperation in the public sector is emerging. The proposed Crypto Assets Market Regulation and regulatory sandboxes will enhance legal certainty. Environmental concerns, however, remain an issue and call for a thoughtful policy response. Dr. Lukas Repa LL.M (Bruges) worked as European research fellow at the IES from 2017 to 2018. Lukas then explored the impact of FinTech on competition in banking, and the relevance of initial coin offerings for crowdfunding start-ups. Lukas is a senior policy officer of the European Commission where he has been working since 2003. Lukas has a legal background and qualified as attorney at law at the bar of Vienna, Austria. In the European Commission, Lukas has led antitrust investigations into card payment networks, in retail banking, in insurance and in capital markets (credit default swaps). Since December 2018, Lukas heads a legal department tasked with industrial policy for start-up innovation and blockchain technologies. Lukas is involved in the EU’s Markets In Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), in setting up a pan-European regulatory sandbox for blockchain, in exploring the potential of programmable digital money for industry 4.0, and in the European Central Bank’s Digital Euro project.
