The European Parliament has called for a review of DeFi and NFT regulation, and a follow-up framework for MiCA has been put on the agenda.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to a report by Crypto.news, members of the European Parliament on Tuesday adopted a policy position report, requesting the European Commission to review whether DeFi, staking, crypto lending, NFTs, and tokenized financial assets should be included in the subsequent regulation under the MiCA framework. The report does not amend existing laws or add new obligations, but sets priority directions for the next phase of crypto regulation. It also calls for consistency among member states, warning that differing national practices could weaken the EU's single market for digital assets. In May, the European Commission launched a public consultation on whether the MiCA should be extended to more crypto activities and whether to reconsider restrictions on interest-bearing stablecoins. The report takes a positive stance on tokenization and euro-denominated stablecoins, stating that unified implementation of rules would enhance the competitiveness of the European financial market.

The Bank of Korea has released a regulatory proposal suggesting that personal stablecoin transactions exceeding $10,000 should be limited to transfers from verified wallets.
According to Mars Finance, the legal team of the Bank of Korea has published a research paper titled "Regulatory Scheme for Foreign Remittance Transactions Targeting Stablecoins," proposing regulatory recommendations for large-scale stablecoin transactions. The paper, referencing current South Korean foreign exchange control regulations, proposes constraints on stablecoin transfers exceeding $10,000 between individuals, requiring such transactions to be conducted only between officially certified wallets, along with a pre-reporting mechanism. The institution acknowledges that there are technical obstacles to fully controlling unregistered wallets, but due to anti-money laundering compliance requirements, it is necessary to strengthen restrictions on large-scale cross-border stablecoin fund flows. South Korean regulators have previously repeatedly stated the need to improve the monitoring system for cross-border crypto asset transactions using non-custodial wallets; this paper further refines and implements the regulatory approach.
