Update on our TFR, Mica Open Letter Initiative

To give European regulation around Mica and TFR a new direction our ecosystem coordinated quickly around the open letter initiative.

Within a couple of weeks we iterated over the initial draft of the open letter and gathered >2,300 signatories behind the open source initiative - including many of the leading projects, companies, venture funds and financial institutions (excerpt below).

Thanks for all your support! 🙏

You can find the finalized letter here for download as PDF.

Please share the letter with politicians

As a next step we need to get the attention of the broader public and more importantly - of our democratic representatives.

1/ gm. Crypto regulation on a EU level is coming. The proposals for #Mica and #TFR came out. The proposed regulatory path will negatively impact EU citizens and businesses. Hence, we wrote an open letter to set out our position and propose a new direction.

What’s next

The open letter initiative really is just a starting point. To foster an innovation friendly environment amongst EU politicians requires a fundamental mind shift with regard to the role of high technologies in the context of geo political power dynamics and societal progress.

As a community we have to continuously engage with policymakers, the media and the broader public to communicate our visions of the future more eloquently.

Therefore, we are considering to initiate an open source research and advocacy body. Such body could be organized as a not-for-profit foundation and be 100% donations financed. It could be maximally transparent with regard to its activities and financing. It could open source all of its educational work to broader broader public and provide an authentic voice for the european civil society. A Coincenter for Europe.

To initiate such an organization we’d need (1) mission driven talent for policy making and media (2) capital and (3) community buy in. We believe that (2) and (3) can be achieved easily but we need support for (1). Please reach out if you’re interested in joining such an initiative or know someone who might be a great fit.

Onwards & upwards,

Team Inflection
