Daniel Seifert, Vice President and Regional Managing Director for EMEA at Coinbase, has recently participated in public discussions on cryptocurrency regulation and adoption. At a June 2024 panel on regulated finance and decentralized finance, he discussed Coinbase's "Stand With Crypto" initiative, noting that its European focus differs from the U.S. approach by highlighting local web3 builders and creators. He also commented on the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, describing it as a harmonization of existing regulatory regimes rather than a wholly new framework. In a November 2023 interview, Seifert discussed Coinbase's mission to increase economic freedom and its goal of bringing the next billion people into crypto. He emphasized the company's focus on utility and real-world use cases beyond trading and speculation, such as remittances, foreign exchange, and digital identity. He also mentioned that Coinbase had announced its intention to apply for a MiCA license in Ireland, and he expressed confidence in the continued adoption of blockchain technology, while acknowledging difficulty in predicting its specific forms over the next five to ten years.
