🇪🇺JUST IN: EU banking regulator wants DeFi lending protocols CERTIFIED and crypto lending brought under MiCA. The European Banking Authority says crypto lending is already active in at least 16 EU countries, with licensed platforms and AI tools making DeFi easier to access through licensed platforms. It proposes suitability tests, leverage limits and extra risk warnings for users. It also floats banning licensed firms from offering lending involving stablecoins that lack MiCA approval. The recommendations are advice to the Commission's MiCA review and don't change any rules yet.

Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them. With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks. To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools: • OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority. • Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach. For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

I’ve been yelling this into the void for months. Most tokenized “stocks” are hopium and hot air. They are not the shares. They are not issued by the company. They are not redeemable for the actual equity. You do not own $AMC, you do not vote, you do not get a claim on the business. You bought economic exposure from an offshore affiliate that slapped someone else’s ticker on a derivative and hoped nobody would read the fine print. That is NOT tokenization. That is selling people a wrapper of snake juice. This is the collision I said was coming the second platforms started minting US equities without the issuer in the room, but legal is no fun so no one really listens. If it isn’t the stock, can’t be redeemed for the stock, and the company is publicly furious it exists… you did not buy $AMC. You bought nothing with a logo on it. This is going to be a windfall.
