Petition Summary

The petitioner considers that the EU should create a European deterrence plan for the use and regulation of cryptocurrencies. He believes that continuing the current outbreak of appreciation will ultimately affect the real economy and, together with distribution problems, rising raw material and fuel prices and the war in Ukraine, will create an even more negative economic situation. Many investors have now converted their savings into this currency. The petitioner believes that the EU can and should create mechanisms to deter, regulate and monitor transactions in such financial assets that (at least) hinder or (ideally) prevent their use by speculators, cybercriminals, dishonest states or mafias trading in illicit products.
