Brego Arts & New Media is independent, minority-owned and self-funded. No investors, no venture money, no one to answer to but our readers.

We are here for the original promise of Web3: an open, egalitarian internet where people have real choices in how they bank, pay, send money and own what they make. Somewhere along the way that vision got crowded out by self-dealing and grift. Our work is to keep the good, leave the bad, and build the version worth finding.

Everything we publish is free to read and will stay that way. If our work has been useful to you, support keeps a shoestring operation running: the servers, the research, and the independence. It also backs the projects closest to us, including a green technology invention in development, a five-cat rescue, and bringing filmmaking to Western Massachusetts.

Web3 in Germany and the EU

Web3.de.com explains what Europe's crypto rules mean in Germany, in plain English, for people and for builders.

0 of 6 complete
The European Union wrote a single set of rules for crypto-assets instead of leaving each country to decide alone.

Regulation

MiCA is the EU regulation covering crypto-asset issuers and service providers. It sets rules for licensing, disclosure and stablecoins across member states.

Markets in Crypto-Assets

A crypto-asset service provider licensed in one EU country can offer its services across the EU. That is called passporting.

CASP

BaFin is Germany's federal financial supervisor. It licenses and oversees crypto businesses operating in Germany.

BaFin

Under MiCA, stablecoins tied to a single currency are treated as e-money tokens, with reserve and redemption rules for issuers.

E-money token

Launching in the EU means knowing which activities need a license. Get qualified legal advice early; the rules reward preparation.
