Could you please elaborate on the current regulatory landscape surrounding crypto assets in Europe? Are there specific rules or guidelines in place that govern the trading, storage, and use of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets? Are there any notable differences in regulation between member states, or is there a unified approach across the region? How do these regulations impact the overall growth and adoption of crypto assets in Europe?

This also means that investors in these assets may not be afforded the same level of protection as those investing in traditional financial products.

In contrast, cryptocurrency brokerages in the US are licensed as Money Transmitters, a regulatory framework that governs the transmission of money or value.

However, despite this licensing, cryptocurrency brokerages in the US still do not carry the same protections as traditional brokers or asset managers.
