The stagnation may stem from Europe’s complex regulatory regime, according to Elisenda Fabrega, general counsel at Brickken, a European real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform.“European corporate adoption remains limited,” Fabrega told Cointelegraph, adding:“This hesitation reflects a deeper structural divide, rooted in regulation, institutional signaling and market maturity.
Europe is “generally more conservative in adopting new financial instruments,” the analyst told Cointelegraph, adding:“This stands in stark contrast to the deep, liquid, and relatively unified US capital market, where the spot Bitcoin ETF rollout was buoyed by strong retail demand and a clear regulatory green light.”iShares Bitcoin ETP listings.
