The European Crypto Initiative aims to shape EU regulation in favour of open, permissionless and decentralised applications leveraging blockchain technology.
We represent European open-blockhain & DeFi users crypto companies in a unified voice towards decision makers in the European Parliament.
Now, more than ever, there is a clear need for an inclusive discussion and dialogue between the European Institutions and European citizens.
The European Crypto Initiative is facilitating this to enable an inclusive, secure and transparent future for our shared financial infrastructure.

Why?
Upcoming regulations in the EU are having a significant impact on open-blockchain companies, projects, and any service provider located in the EU or targeting the EU to grow, scale and compete in the crypto space.
Competition in financial services, market participants (exchanges, brokers, etc.), decentralized blockchain ecosystems, DAOs, DEXs, stablecoins, web3 and – ultimately – the financial inclusion of millions, potentially billions of people are at stake.
What do we do?
The initiative focuses on four action areas:
- Education: Providing industry specific training for MEPs, Commission, Council (Member States). Educating European DeFi users and citizens on blockchain and upcoming regulations. Conducting public webinars, regularly. Produce and disseminate documentation on all our positions.
- Proposals: Work on the technicalities of the texts. Draft proposals to amend the text and communicate them to relevant interlocutors. Make our proposals reviewed by lawyers and advisors.
- Advocacy and representation: Sending policy papers and participating in all the lobbying groups, events and other national and international initiatives with similar goals. On-boarding key EU industry players to shared platform, to enable a unified voice for the European Industry.
To achieve those goals, we are assisted by a public relations agency based in Brussels.
💡 Objective: yield a net positive outcome for the crypto ecosystem.
