DORA: Opportunities for innovation and growth in the cryptoassets market

A regulatory framework to drive innovation

The Cryptoasset Markets Regulation (DORA) is presented as a key catalyst to drive innovation in the cryptoasset market in Spain. Through its various regulatory mechanisms, DORA seeks to foster the development of new technologies, products and services based on blockchain, creating an environment conducive to creativity and experimentation.

On the one hand, DORA promotes technological innovation, adopting a principles-based approach rather than a rules-based one, giving companies greater flexibility to innovate within the limits set by the regulatory framework. Exemptions and more flexible regulatory regimes are established for early-stage innovative projects, allowing companies to test and develop new technologies without excessive burdens. In addition, controlled spaces (“regulatory sandboxes”) are created where companies can experiment with new technologies and products in a safe and supervised environment, facilitating the identification and evaluation of their potential.

On the other hand, DORA establishes a system of categorization of cryptoassets, differentiating between those with higher and lower risk, which allows companies to develop products and services tailored to the needs of different types of investors. Transparency requirements are imposed on companies offering products and services related to cryptoassets, increasing investor confidence and facilitating informed decision-making. DORA incorporates investor protection measures, such as the obligation to provide clear and accurate information about the risks associated with cryptoassets, which encourages responsible and ethical innovation.

DORA also creates an innovation-friendly ecosystem that promotes collaboration between regulators and companies in the cryptoasset sector, creating effective communication channels to facilitate the exchange of information and the identification of innovation opportunities. Funding initiatives are encouraged for research and development of new blockchain-related technologies, driving the advancement of knowledge and the creation of new innovative solutions. The stable and favorable regulatory framework established by DORA can contribute to attract international talent to the cryptoasset sector in Spain, boosting the creation of new companies and the generation of employment in this area.

In short, DORA is emerging as a key instrument for driving innovation in the cryptoasset market in Spain. By establishing a clear, coherent and conducive regulatory framework for experimentation, DORA paves the way for the development of new technologies, products and services based on blockchain, contributing to the growth and maturity of this constantly evolving sector.
