Milestone confirms $DMC as a regulated utility token in Europe, paving the way for expansion and new cultural initiatives

Madrid, Spain - Sept 11, 2025 -  DeLorean Labs, the Web3 innovation arm of the iconic DeLorean brand, today announced that its $DMC token white paper has been officially accepted by Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). 

This makes DeLorean one of the first globally recognized consumer brands to operate under MiCA’s framework, a regulatory milestone that sets the stage for expansion across Europe.

MiCA is the EU’s first unified rulebook for crypto-assets, covering a market of over 450 million people and one of the world’s largest pools of investment capital. It ensures consistent standards across all 27 Member States - removing the need for multiple national approvals, and creating stronger safeguards for consumers and partners. 

For companies like DeLorean, MiCA opens the door to seamless cross-border growth in a region where digital-asset adoption is accelerating.

The $DMC token has been formally classified as a utility token under MiCA, meaning it is not a financial instrument or security under EU law. This is supported by legal opinion that confirms DeLorean operates within MiCA’s Title II provisions. Beyond the legal label, it signals to users and partners that the $DMC ecosystem meets Europe’s new transparency, disclosure, and consumer protection standards -  a key differentiator as the industry matures.

“MiCA compliance is a major foundation for what we’re building,” said Evan Kuhn, President of DeLorean Labs. “As a utility token, $DMC will power new ways for fans, gamers, and communities to participate in the DeLorean ecosystem across Europe. From digital engagement to real-world experiences, we are creating a transparent and trusted path for our next chapter.”

The MiCA announcement follows a landmark year for DeLorean Labs. In 2025, the company launched its Reservation Marketplace, introduced the $DMC token, and advanced partnerships with leading blockchain and cultural partners. Together with compliance recognition under MiCA, these milestones underscore DeLorean’s evolution into a Web3-powered lifestyle ecosystem - combining digital tokens with fan culture, gaming, and community-driven experiences.

With MiCA compliance now secured, DeLorean Labs is positioned to accelerate initiatives across Europe while preparing significant activations in the U.S. and Asia. Alongside regulation, the company is advancing strategic partnerships and cultural collaborations that will bring its legacy brand deeper into the Web3 ecosystem.

Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation: Large-scale adoption of Ethereum requires overcoming three major gaps: scalability, user experience, and trust.

Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation: Large-scale adoption of Ethereum requires overcoming three major gaps: scalability, user experience, and trust.

PANews reported on October 22nd that at the ETHShanghai 2025 main forum, Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, delivered a speech titled "Mass Adoption of Ethereum: Bridging the Chasm." He stated that Ethereum's vision for mass adoption can be embodied in three key areas: first, self-control, allowing users to truly own their assets; second, global settlement capabilities, enabling value to transcend geographical boundaries, improving overall efficiency, and enabling global verification; and third, everyday utility, allowing blockchain and Ethereum to be naturally and smoothly integrated into people's daily lives, just like the internet, for example, in everyday money transfers. She also pointed out that Ethereum faces three major challenges before it can bridge the chasm: high scalability and cost barriers, a user experience gap, and a trust gap. Regarding scalability, Ethereum's path is L1 ✖️ L2, with its core strategy being to achieve high throughput and low-cost transactions through L2 Rollups. Key upgrades include Dencun (EIP-4844), Pectra (Q1 2025), and Fusaka (Q4 2025). Regarding accounts and user experience, the concept of account abstraction has been proposed, and smart accounts have been introduced through proposals such as ERC-4337, EIP-7701, and EIP-7702. These transform user accounts into programmable contracts and support social recovery wallets, gas payment, and batch transactions. Regarding infrastructure development, the emphasis is on secure and stable mainchain infrastructure and the integration of finance into everyday life. She also stated that Ethereum's future goal is to no longer be "seen," but to be silently relied upon and trusted, just like the internet. True mass adoption comes not from Ethereum's inherent size, but from its ubiquity, transparency, and reliability. When it exists as naturally as air, blockchain will truly realize its value.
