Europe lagging behind: Financial innovation and the battle for crypto supremacy
Europe’s challenges in international crypto competition
Europe faces the challenge of keeping up with international competition in the cryptocurrency sector. Berthold Baurek-Karlic, CEO of Venionaire Capital, attributes this gap to structural factors in dealing with financial innovations.
The crypto industry is developing rapidly and is posing new challenges to traditional financial systems. While countries such as the US and some Asian nations are pursuing innovative approaches to regulating and promoting crypto technologies, Europe appears to be more cautious in this area.
The slow adaptation to new technologies and the lack of a clear regulatory framework make it difficult for European companies to be successful in global competition. Additionally, investors and companies in Europe often cannot expect the same support and risk appetite found in countries with more advanced crypto ecosystems.
In order to increase competitiveness, an overhaul of regulatory approaches and greater support for financial innovation are required. This is the only way Europe can keep up in the global crypto race and take advantage of the associated opportunities.
