Yet, there is still work to be done on the regulatory front and Kaili is passionate about helping to provide the clarity that will help remove barriers to adoption. For the past four years, the Greek MEP has spearheaded a fresh Europe-wide approach to blockchain and digital assets.
Unlike the other members, Kaili is quite optimistic and thus encouraging fewer regulations to foster innovation. She says that;
