AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

DeFi Regulation Watch: Malta’s MFSA has opened a consultation on DeFi under MiCA, proposing a new legal category for “software-based organizations” to cover DAOs and other software-governed models, with feedback due by July 10, 2026. Crypto Compliance Deadline: Across Europe, the MiCA transition ends July 1, and reporting suggests most crypto firms still lack full authorization—setting up a major market shakeout. Maritime & Energy: Malta-flagged LNG carrier Disha successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz and arrived at Dahej Port, with officials noting no other Indian-flag vessel exited the Persian Gulf after Disha—highlighting how shipping schedules are still being rebuilt. Local Transparency Clash: Malta’s Office of the Prime Minister is accused of breaching transparency rules over the Vision 2050 Cube spending, after FOI requests reportedly remain unanswered as the structure is dismantled post-election. EU Budget Talks: EU leaders are pushing toward an October draft for the €2 trillion 2028–2034 budget, with Malta among the “Friends of Cohesion” warning that agriculture and cohesion funding could be squeezed by defence-focused priorities. Industry Tech: Maltese firm BMIT Technologies secured a Microsoft Support Services designation under Microsoft’s AI Cloud Partner Programme.
