On-chain Finance
On-chain finance is becoming institutionalised and 2025 marks a major turning point. The entry into force of the European MiCA and DORA regulations signals a transition to a regulated world for players in the crypto-asset market. Whether they are global companies, financial institutions or start-ups, the first to obtain MiCA, EME or Pilot Regime exemptions will enjoy a decisive competitive advantage.

The industrial revolution of artificial intelligence will have an impact on all sectors of activity. To negotiate this transition, companies will have to make considerable investments. In this context, mergers will enable them to pool resources. Similarly, the acquisition of companies active in AI could prove essential for securing access to key technologies.
