The European Union is moving forward with proposed regulatory frameworks designed to give preferential treatment to domestic enterprises during investment decisions. This policy shift signals Brussels' intent to strengthen local economic resilience and corporate competitiveness across member states. Such regulatory developments could reshape how international capital flows and investment strategies operate within the EU bloc, potentially affecting how blockchain and fintech initiatives secure funding and licensing approvals in the region.

This move by the EU... is basically about insiders looking out for their own. Web3 in Europe is probably going to face more difficulties again.

This move by the EU is really protectionist. Domestic companies are thriving, while we multinational projects have to wait in line?

It seems that the EU has started to adopt protectionism again. For Web3 entrepreneurs, it probably means more hassle.

The EU's move is indeed ruthless. Local businesses are protected, but how can international capital still operate...

The EU's move is to open a backdoor for local companies. How else can international capital play?

Yeah, now the EU is really starting to adopt protectionism. We overseas project teams are going to have a tough time.

EU is trying to implement protectionism, which is another hurdle for fundraising in the blockchain space.

This move by the EU is really implementing local protectionism. Small and medium-sized blockchain games and startup crypto projects will once again face restrictions.
