⚽ Almost 3.5 billion people will watch as the FIFA World Cup kicks off this Thursday. Almost none of the spectators have any say in how the teams they love are actually run. So here’s the question worth asking during football’s biggest month: 📍What if Football was governed via a DAO on a #Blockchain? 🌐 What happens when fans are treated as participants in Football, not merely spectators? ✍🏽 A study in the Journal of The British Blockchain Association (#JBBA) put Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (#DAOs) to the test as a governance model for football. Worth a read as the tournament begins. Research from BBA's Centre for Evidence Based Blockchain (#CEBB) member, Marco Peirera.

📍Yesterday, BBA submitted its formal response to the Financial Conduct Authority's Consultation Paper CP26/13: Cryptoasset Perimeter Guidance. While we welcome the FCA’s efforts to provide greater regulatory clarity, we disagree with several aspects of the proposed guidance, and have invited the FCA to revisit six key areas: ➡️ The “identifiable person” doctrine is too elastic ➡️ The qualifying stablecoin definition leaves perimeter gap ➡️ The safeguarding “control” test is broader than the harm justified ➡️ The categorical treatment of crypto lending as “dealing" ➡️ The complete disapplication of the overseas persons exclusion ➡️ The dual MLR/FSMA architecture is duplicative 🌐 We would like to thank our members, advisors, partners, and researchers at CEBB for drafting this comprehensive, evidence-based response. #Blockchain #FCA #Cryptoasset #UKRegulation #DigitalAssets #BBA
