The often so-called progressive forces from left-wing and green
parties were the driving forces in sealing the fate of the DeFi sector
and crypto in general in the EU. Yes, for the individual holder there
will be solutions, but an industry has been massacred and the EU once
more gave up the possibility to take a leading role in cutting edge
technology in favour of massive over-regulation.

The interesting thing is also, as many people in other threats stated
that the problem would be old bas**s clinging to power or boomers not
understanding crypto/blockchain. Fact is, leading politicians, in this
case, were for example Paul Tang (ok he is 54), but also a renowned
economist from Spain Ernest Urtasun (40) and even a POC Assita Kanko
(42). The problem here are not old white males at least, the
conservative PPE voted against all together but are socialists, social
democrats, left-wing liberals and greens... a sad truth but a truth
nonetheless

Please see the table below for detailed results of the final vote for
the shady compromise on the law that doomed the crypto industry in the
EU:
