Spanish Deputy Maria Muñoz Inquires About the Consequences of the Kazakhstan Situation
Maria Muñoz, a deputy of the Spanish Congress, has directed a letter to the institution inquiring about the possible actions that the government could take to take advantage of the situation and absorb the business of bitcoin miners fleeing from Kazakhstan.

The cryptocurrency cause is not new for Muñoz, who has been interested in the sector and its possible regulation in Spain since before the Kazakhstan situation. The deputy, who is part of the liberal faction from the Ciudadanos party, was included in a law proposal last October to design a national strategy for the cryptocurrency sector that would allow them to establish a clear framework to attract investors and protect citizens from cryptocurrency frauds.
The proposal, as convened in local media, exposed that while cryptocurrencies had an important growth in Spain last year, there was no concrete institution to regulate the industry, and as a consequence, there might be false expectations from the citizens on this matter. On this, the party asked to establish campaigns to inform citizens about what cryptocurrencies really are, and to coordinate efforts to establish a coordinated cryptocurrency regulation with the European Union and cryptocurrency companies in Europe.
