The plans for a Bitcoin ban are off the table

The German magazine BTC ECHO reports that it has seen a new version of the European Parliament's MiCA compromise draft, in which the controversial paragraph 61 (9c) has been completely deleted. The Deputy Office of the Chairman of the responsible Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), Stefan Berger, confirmed the deletion of the paragraph. The paragraph would have meant a European ban on services for proof-of-work-based cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As reported, the Left, the Greens, and the Social Democrats had initially pushed through the proposed ban in the negotiations, but that did not work out as planned, as the paragraph was the main reason for the postponement of the MiCA vote. European politician Berger explained that the negotiations were now resumed because they wanted to get the MiCA through the EU Parliament as quickly as possible.

There is no new decision date yet

However, there is still no new decision date in the EU Parliament on the MiCA draft to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The intention is to organize a corresponding date as soon as possible. After the vote, there will be a trialogue between the EU Commission, the Parliament, and the member states. The Commission will then evaluate the implementation of the Parliament's draft.

The MiCA framework, introduced in 2020, aims to introduce oversight of the crypto industry at the EU level. The proposal sets rules for cryptocurrency issuers and service providers and even specifies rules for stablecoins. Although the energy concerns of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies are unlikely to play a role in the MiCA framework, these discussions will likely continue at a later date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
