In deze aflevering duiken we in de recente veranderingen rond MICAR, de nieuwe Europese wetgeving voor crypto. Nu MICAR eindelijk van kracht is, rijst de vraag: wat verandert er voor consumenten en bedrijven? De regulering is bedoeld om de crypto-industrie veiliger en transparanter te maken, maar wat merken we daar nu van? Te gast is Mauro Halve, head of compliance bij Amdax en lid van branchevereniging VBNL. We bespreken ook de praktische kant van MICAR, zoals de doorlooptijd van vergunningaanvragen. Zo vertelt Mauro uit eigen ervaring over de boekwerken die hij en zijn collega's hebben moeten schrijven. Het lijkt een intensief proces, waarbij het gedoe rond DORA, de cybersecurity-eis, zeker een rol speelt. We bekijken of die zorgen over DORA terecht waren en hoe de AFM hiermee omgaat. De eerste vergunningen zijn inmiddels verstrekt, en opvallend zijn dat allemaal vergunningen in Nederland. Twee internationale bedrijven kiezen ook voor ons land: Moonpay en ZBD. Toch zijn er nog veel vragen op dit gebied. Waarom missen de grote internationale exchanges zoals Coinbase en Kraken nog hun vergunning? Wat betekent het voor de kosten en de internationale werking van deze bedrijven? En hoe kijken we naar de vergunningsystemen in andere Europese landen, waar sommige toezichthouders nog niet actief zijn voor MICAR? Is Nederland echt strenger dan andere landen, zoals vaak gevreesd werd? En wat weten we nu over de handhaving van MICAR? Krijgen bedrijven die niet op tijd een vergunning hebben toch nog een kans, of gaan er op 30 juni partijen op zwart? Co-host is Bert Slagter.

Eoin Kearns, Head of Compliance, AML, and MLRO at MoonPay, unpacks the critical role compliance plays in the crypto industry. From navigating the complexities of MiCA to preparing for the EU's Travel Rule, Eoin shares practical insights, challenges, and strategies for building a safer, more compliant digital asset ecosystem.

It's a packed debrief for you today and — would you believe it — it's not all Bitcoin, though that's where we'll start. With BTC hitting yet another new all-time high in the past 24 hours, the question of when we'll see a six-figure USD price tag intensifies. To address this, we collated end-of-year price predictions for Bitcoin from top analysts, and found a clear trend. Outside of Bitcoin (sort of), an AI firm adopted the MicroStrategy Bitcoin treasury play and its stock price jumped 66% in a day, MoonPay is bridging TradFi and DeFi with a new tool and 215 arrests were made in South Korea in a quarter-of-a-billion dollar crypto scam.Further reading:Bitcoin analysts brace for 6 figures as BTC price seals $93.5K recordBitcoin price could fast-track to $100K high in November — Analysts$100K Bitcoin? 9 analysts share their end-of-year BTC price predictionsAI firm Genius Group surges 66% after ‘Bitcoin-first' treasury strategyMoonPay boosts self-custodial crypto spending with new solutionS.

Why are crypto wallets better than banks?

MoonPay are one of the biggest names in Web3. And without 'ramps' and tools that connect to Web2, the decentralised internet will never reach full potential. 5-years and 20 million customers later, Ivan Soto-Wright has learned a lot, and has a lot to say about what it takes to onboard new and skeptical users to Web3. The UX has also come on a LONG way since the early days. In this LinkedIn Live, we'll talk about: - Ivan's Web3 ‘origin story' - The problems with Web3 UX, and how they're gradually being solved - What are 'on ramps' & the various aspects of MoonPay's business today - Ivan's most valuable use cases for Blockchain & Crypto - The hardest things MoonPay had to solve in scaling the business - Learnings from partnerships with PayPal, Adidas, Gucci, Nike & MasterCard - What are the critical things needed to see further adoption of Web3, and what is the upcoming MoonPay roadmap

It has been a rough 24 hours across the board in crypto, with Bitcoin dropping several percent and Ethereum taking an enormous, near-10% haircut. But why? Bitcoin has been on a sustained recovery rally for weeks, and with the launch of spot Ether ETFs in the United States, the news has been positive of late — so what's going on? Today's episode breaks down what the trusted analysts show, including an incredibly bullish narrative around Bitcoin. In other news, we'll look at the performance of spot Ether ETFs yesterday and why the crypto-centric betting platform Polymarket has gone parabolic.Further reading:Bitstamp will begin Mt.

How do you go from extraordinarily principled libertarian ideals that challenge the status quo to mass adoption? In this week's One Vision podcast, we chat with Keith Grossman, President, Enterprise at MoonPay, former President of TIME magazine, and former Global Chief Revenue Officer of Bloomberg, on the partnership between MoonPay and PayPal, the maturity of the crypto ecosystem, the importance of regulation, and the need for concessions to drive mass adoption. As an accomplished C-Suite executive, Keith is an incredible thinker, a pragmatic leader, and a charismatic visionary. From digital currency, technology revolution, to media, and everything in between, this episode is full of nuggets of wisdom and is definitely one for the books. Besides, where else would you have a conversation on life, death, and possibilities if not here? As Keith said, “Don't fall in love with the past. Go to the edges.” Hosted on Acast.

Ophelia Brown is the Founder of Blossom Capital, one of Europe's newest but leading early-stage venture firms. Ophelia and the Blossom team have invested in stand-outs including Checkout, Duffel, Tines, and Moonpay. Prior to Blossom, Ophelia was a GP at LocalGlobe and a Principal at Index Ventures where her investments included Robinhood and Typeform. In Today's Episode with Ophelia Brown We Discuss: 1.) From Restaurant-Owning DJ to Leading European VC: How Ophelia made her way into the world of venture and came to found Blossom? What does Ophelia know now that she wishes she had known when she entered venture? What does Ophelia feel she is running away from? 2.) Venture Capital: The Market: Why does Ophelia believe the best venture firms focus either by stage/theme/geography? Why does Ophelia believe that marketing in venture has no substance? How can founders determine between what is real and what is false? Why does Ophelia believe that growth investors have ruined the venture market? When does Ophelia believe VCs will realise that FOMO investing is not a good strategy? 3.) Ophelia Brown: The Investor and Fund Manager: What has been Ophelia's biggest investing mistake? How did it change her mindset and approach? In a world where everyone does seed investing, why does Ophelia not? How was raising the first Blossom fund? What were some of her biggest lessons? Why does Ophelia believe that follow-on investing can damage returns? How does Ophelia reflect on her own relationship to price? When has she paid up and it worked? When has she paid up and it not worked? Does Ophelia think it is fair that many find her curt and abrasive to work with? 4.) Europe: Is Now Really The Right Time? What would Ophelia like to see change in the way European VCs act? If Ophelia could invest in one seed firm, one Series A firm and one growth firm in Europe, what would they be? Why? What are 1-2 of the biggest barriers Europe must overcome in the next 5 years?
