The European Banking Authority (EBA) has proposed rules that would restrict EU-based crypto firms from engaging in stablecoin lending. The regulator aims to explore the regulation of DeFi gateways, which facilitate lending and borrowing on blockchain platforms. The proposed restrictions include leverage caps to prevent excessive borrowing and certification requirements for lending protocols to ensure their safety and security. This move could impact the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) in the EU.
