Emmanuel Macron on crypto: ‘I don’t believe in a self-regulated financial sector’
Mere days before the second round of the fateful presidential election in France, the incumbent President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, sat down with local media to share his thoughts on the digital economy — a subject he didn’t speak on much before. While emphasizing the importance of the sector, Macron once again reiterated his support for the pan-European approach to financial technology regulation.
The interview with French publication The Big Wale came on April 22, two days before the runoff that will see Macron face the right-wing populist Marine Le Pen. According to most polls, Macron is more likely to win, yet the margin is expected to be very thin. In the 2017, he outpaced Le Pen with 66.1% of the vote in the second round.
