🚀 WEF Urges DeFi to Play in the Sandbox! 🏖️
- The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for DeFi innovations to be tested in regulatory sandboxes. Think of it as a playground where DeFi can experiment safely!
- In a recent report, the WEF highlighted nine major economies, including the US and UK, advocating for tailored risk mitigation and transparency in DeFi.
- Countries with a "sandbox-first" approach are seeing progress. The WEF says, "The success of regulatory sandboxes highlights the potential for collaborative innovation in DeFi."
- Only 9% of jurisdictions have applied existing financial regulations to digital assets. The UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore are leading the charge with tailored frameworks for stablecoins.
- The WEF emphasizes collaboration between regulators and DeFi platforms to ensure consistent communication about risks.
- The European Blockchain Sandbox Initiative (EBSI) has onboarded 41 authorities from 22 countries to tackle legal and regulatory hurdles in blockchain innovation.
