Analyst: Bitcoin adoption in the EU is limited by "fragmented" regulatory systems

Despite the United States pushing forward with milestone cryptocurrency regulations, attempting to establish Bitcoin as a national reserve asset, the institutional adoption of Bitcoin in the European Union is still progressing slowly. Since President Trump signed an executive order on March 7th planning to use confiscated cryptocurrencies to create a federal Bitcoin reserve, most European businesses have remained silent on this matter. According to Elisenda Fabrega, Chief Legal Advisor at Brickken (a European real-world asset tokenization platform), this stagnation may stem from Europe's complex regulatory system. She stated: "The adoption of Bitcoin by European companies is still restricted; this hesitation reflects deeper structural differences rooted in regulation, institutional signals and market maturity. Europe has not yet taken a clear stance on Bitcoin as a reserve asset."
