Abstract
The European Commission published on 24 September 2020 the proposal for a Regulation on the new regulatory framework for crypto-assets known as MiCA. The Regulation aims to ensure that EU consumers have access to innovative but also secure crypto-assets without compromising market stability. Arguably, the protection of cryptocurrency users is its primary concern, which must be balanced against the need for more innovative investment products, as well as the regulatory and financial risks associated with the wider use of potentially risky assets such as stablecoins. As such, the implementation of the MiCA Regulation by 2024 is likely to mean the end of all national crypto-asset policies in EU Member States, in favour of a single, focused regulatory framework that should allow EU crypto-asset service providers to operate more easily across all EU markets, albeit under stricter rules, but with undoubted advantages for consumers and SMEs in accessing the new Sustainable Digital Economy.

Abstract
The collective work analyses the keys to the current regime and different proposals for regulations on digital finance, payment means and services, money laundering, operational resilience, cybersecurity and digital platforms and identities that the European Union is promoting in order to lead “good governance of financial technology”. It can be said that after the unprecedented destruction suffered during the COVID 19 Pandemic, an unprecedented construction is emerging: a new legal framework capable of enabling a sustainable, resilient Digital Single Market, based on more flexible, decentralised organisations and methods of business financing, combined with an efficient new Payment System and free movement of assets. Programmable money” in the form of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs, such as the digital EURO issued by the ECB) and stable currencies can unlock new business models, improve payment efficiency and give consumers more choice. Moreover, this health crisis has shown that the new crises we face require an effective, comprehensive and immediate response. At the same time, governments around the world will require tools that support resilience and long-term recovery in order to support both crisis response and the long-term goals of financial inclusion and empowerment.

Consellería de Hacienda, Economía y Administración Pública
The Consellería de Hacienda, Economía y Administración Pública of the Generalitat Valenciana has chosen BlockchainFUE, for a pioneering project to introduce blockchain technology in Valencian institutions, allowing them to benefit from its features as an immutable, transparent, traceable and decentralised registry.
BlockchainFUE is the first cooperative to offer a public network of Blockchain technology, promoted and designed by BAES, led by Carmen Pastor Sempere, at the University of Valencia. The Dirección General de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (DGTIC) has entrusted the provision of blockchain services to the public company Infraestructures i Serveis de Telecomunicacions i Certificació (ISTEC), a cooperative partner of BlockchainFUE.
This initiative aims to “ensure the transparency and traceability of digital public services, formalities and procedures”, “strengthen the confidence of citizens and companies in our institutions”, offer these services to other companies and institutions in the region and disseminate the use of blockchain throughout the territory, as stated by the councillor, Ruth Merino.
The director general of DGTIC, José Manuel García Duarte, clarified that the administration’s notifications will be accompanied, from February, by a record in the BlockchainFUE blockchain network, allowing users to access a record of the notification and its phases through their citizen folder. ISTEC has also developed a layer of services based on blockchain that puts the functionalities of tokenisation, immutable digital registry and traceability at the service of administrative processes in a broad sense and for the Valencian Administration as a whole.
This project positions the Generalitat Valenciana as a pioneer in the use of blockchain to improve administrative transparency, promote citizen participation and strengthen the position of the Valencian Region as a pioneer in the use of blockchain technology.

Participation of Carmen Pastor in the Innovation Tasting organised by Fundeun and L’Eliana Town Council.
LegalCripto’s principal investigator, Carmen Pastor Sempere, participated on Friday 24 November in the Innovation Tasting «Sistema económico digital local para la mejora de la gestión municipal en beneficio del ciudadano» organised by Fundeun and L’Eliana Town Council to promote open innovation for public procurement in order to launch a local digital economic system to improve the management of municipal payments and campaigns to boost local trade for the benefit of citizens in the territorial scope of L’Eliana Town Council. How can L’Eliana Town Council feasibly incorporate electronic currency into its municipal management? This is the question around which the Innovation Tasting, in which professionals and experts from the technological and financial sectors took part, revolved.
