On September 30, Greenfield Capital submitted its response to the European Commission's targeted consultation on the review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The consultation covers the whole framework: token classification, stablecoins, service providers, DeFi, perpetual futures, prediction markets and tokenized deposits. We answered more than 60 questions in detail. Below we sum up our core proposals and why we make them. Europe can build a competitive digital asset industry of its own, on onchain infrastructure that held up under the past year's stress. The review decides whether that happens here or elsewhere. Separate posts on the individual topics will follow over the coming weeks.

Last year, we shared our predictions about what could shape the year ahead. This time, we’re taking a different route. Rather than claiming to know what the future holds, we want to share what we hope to see: a 10-point wishlist of ideas, problems, and products we’d love founders to take on in 2026. By anchoring these reflections, we gain a nuanced understanding of where the next set of meaningful opportunities may emerge across Infrastructure, DeFi, and Consumer – and in how evolving regulation will shape the ground beneath them.

On 23 February, Germany will elect a new parliament. The election comes in a year when Germany and Europe need to set their decisive course as a leading hub for the crypto industry and blockchain as a key technology. Together with Areta, we have compiled a position paper on the levers for innovation-friendly conditions and regulatory clarity for entrepreneurs, users and investors.

In this multi-disciplinary essay, we summarise where Greenfield stands on this issue and explore how crypto-native solutions can address the tension between public interest and the personal need for privacy.
