Le discipline a tutela del consumatore e il coordinamento con la proposta di Regolamento MiCA [Consumer Protection Rules and their Coordination with the Proposed MiCA Regulation]

The paper addresses - as was the lecture from which it stems, held on September 15, 2022 at the symposium «La nuova disciplina europea dei mercati digitali: nuovi paradigmi dell'autonomia contrattuale», hosted by the Milan School of Law at UNIMI - the recent proposal of MICA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation. It deals with the impact of the proposed regulation on the consumer protection provisions and with the legal issues raised, on the one hand, by the blockchain architecture, compared to the less energy requiring permissioned and semi permissioned ledgers and raised, on the other hand, by Smart Contracts in respect to the common rules of the Contract law.
