According to Cointelegraph, the European Union plans to advance decentralized finance (DeFi) regulation in 2026, but the currently implemented Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) has not yet clearly defined the concept of decentralization. Vyara Savova, a policy expert at the European Crypto Initiative, noted on June 4 that the space remains in a zone of regulatory ambiguity as MiCA does not theoretically cover DeFi protocols. The MiCA framework will come into effect at the end of 2024, aiming to strengthen investor protection and regulation of stablecoins. However, its requirement for DeFi platforms to have licensing and KYC regulations at the level of traditional financial institutions has sparked controversy.

At the agency's fifth cryptocurrency roundtable on June 9, SEC (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins urged the commission to develop regulations that rely on congressional mandates rather than the opinions of informal staff. He argues that forcing intermediaries incurs costs and limits on-chain functions such as staking. Atkins criticized previous regulatory actions that flagged wallet developers as unregistered brokers, and said that software releases alone should not trigger securities obligations. He highlighted that many blockchain applications run without administrators, which puts them out of the framework written for issuer-centric markets. He asked staff to look at how registrants can interact with automated code execution while meeting disclosure and escrow requirements, and also supported amendments that would allow intermediaries to migrate settlement and clearing to the blockchain to reduce friction and improve liquidity. To expedite experimentation, Atkins instructed staff to design an "innovation exemption" for companies launching on-chain products.

Real-world assets, once ridiculed, are now key to achieving this goal. Both founders agree that the future of DeFi will no longer be dominated by human users, but by AI agents. Rune envisions a shift to "hyper-rational, capital-focused" where intelligent agents will optimize across protocols at machine speed.
