The European Union is now finalizing its landmark licensing regime known as the Markets in Crypto Assets regulation – something that could draw to the region crypto firms seeking regulatory clarity.

Risch, who is also the country's finance minister, did not specify a timeline for adding the payment option, according to the report. Although crypto is too volatile to entrust portions of the country's multi-billion dollar annual savings, that could change, the Prime Minister reportedly signaled.
