Crypto Titans Beg UK: “Pray, Spare Our Staking Shenanigans!”

This missive, spearheaded by the IOTA Foundation-with the Sui Foundation, Cardano Foundation, and Avalanche Policy Coalition in tow-is a finely crafted arrow aimed at the heart of two matters deemed most susceptible to the vagaries of “scope, proportionality, and technical interpretation”: staking and decentralized finance. Heaven forbid the regulators should blunder into these arcana without a proper chaperone.
