European Parliament Postpones Vote on Crypto Assets Bill
The European Parliament has delayed a vote on the Markets in Crypto Assets Directive (MiCA) over energy concerns. EU Delays Vote on Crypto Regulations MiCA, a much-anticipated market regulatory act, aimed at regulating cryptocurrencies was initially slated for a vote on February 28, 2022. However, the chairman of the Economics Committee, Stefan Berger recently announced its cancellation on Twitter and has asked for more time to clarify the provisions. Die Abstimmung des EU-Parlaments zu #MiCA wird auf meine Forderung hin abgesetzt und nicht am 28. Februar stattfinden. Als Berichterstatter ist es für mich zentral, dass der MiCA-Bericht nicht als de-facto #Bitcoin-Verbot missinterpretiert wird @btcecho 1/4 — Stefan Berger (@DrStefanBerger) February 25, 2022 The move comes after a draft of the framework began circulating earlier this week which included a provision that implied lawmakers were planning to restrict the use of cryptocurrencies that rely on an energy-intensive proof-of-work. According to the provisions, crypto firms will no longer be able to provide services that require the use of proof-of-work-based cryptocurrencies starting in January 2025. “The current discussion about MiCA indicates that individual passages of the draft report can be misinterpreted and seen as a ban on proof-of-work. It would be fatal if the European Parliament were to send the wrong signal by voting under these circumstances,” Berger stated in his tweet. Concerns Over Proof-of-Work Mining Various lawmakers and regulators in the EU have been calling for a ban on proof-of-work mining as concerns over its intensive energy consumption become more visible. In November 2021, a Swedish financial watchdog and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency called for a ban on proof-of-work mining. Similarly, the European Securities and Markets Authority also called for a ban on proof-of-work mining in January 2022.

World’s Largest E-Commerce Company eBay Considers Crypto Payments
The multinational e-commerce corporation based out of America, eBay aims to become the significant marketplace for millennials. Recently, eBay has been studying the possibilities to add a mode of payment. The CEO of eBay Inc., Jamie Iannone claimed that they might announce the decision on March 10. “We are just completing our transition to managing payments where we are now managing $85 billion of volume on our platform directly. This gives us the ability to open up new forms of payment.” The news has been buzzing with the emergency and adoption of cryptocurrency in various industries. The introduction of digital wallets has opened doors to conduct businesses seamlessly. As it is a known fact that cryptocurrency can be converted into local currency, accepting this form of payment can earn advantageous benefits for retailers. Cryptocurrency and e-commerce go hand-in-hand as they both appeal to a digitally-savvy user. “We opened up Google Pay and Apple Pay. We have a partnership with Afterpay in Australia. And so we continue to evaluate other forms of payments that we should take on the platform.” Jamie Iannone also states that they do not currently accept cryptocurrency payments. However, he continues, “On March 10, we are going to go deeper on all of these things – payments, advertisements, our focus categories.” Remembering a thing from the past, Iannone further says that years ago people on eBay had started selling cars even though the firm did not have a vehicle business then. A similar occurrence with respect to NFT made Iannone observe that transactions related to NFTs had also started occurring on eBay. Although the firm did not announce so, the team did enforce policies in 2021 to trade NFT on the platform and several users started trading NFT on the e-commerce platform. In conclusion, Jamie Iannone states, “eBay will be the place where people will trade goods, whether physical or digital. [Thereby] over time, you know, we want this [eBay] to be the marketplace for sustainability.
